Tisdale to manage California office.

As many of you know, I’ve been spending most of my time at our Las Vegas facility and the rest at our offices in Southern California. This has been particularly hard on my family who resides in Southern California. I’m very happy to announce that starting May 1rst I will be in the Vegas office full time again. Also, my family will be moving back to Las Vegas. I’m so happy that I will be able to spend so much more time with them. It’s very exciting for me!

Since our acquisition of Expo Call John Tisdale has learned our system and is fitting back in here like he never left. Now that we have such a talented manager here in Southern California, I’m no longer needed here with such frequency. John will do an amazing job here. I’ll be enthusiastically watching the growth that will happen in this office under his care.

Please remember to contact me when you’re in Las Vegas. I know all the great restaurants and bars and I can always hook up a local discount for shows and concerts.

Nothing will change for our clients and all phone numbers and addresses remain the same.

ListeNation CA offices

We're finally finished moving and all settled in at our new offices in San Juan Capistrano California. San Juan is North of San Diego and South of Anaheim. The offices are humble but closer to where everyone lives. Which makes everyone around here a lot happier!
