Kelly’s “Double Up” concert tour, the Wynn Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, the MTV Video Music Awards, various appearances for artists on VH1, and numerous special events for the NFL, NBA, NHL, Volkswagen, Samsung and Walmart just to name a few. His work is nothing short of presidential as well-being called upon to work with several past & present Commanders In Chief and First Ladies, working closely with the White House Communications Agency. He earned an Emmy® Award nomination for his work on the post September 11th musical telethon America: A Tribute to Heroes.
