Tino
Co-founder / Social Concierge
Creative, open-minded and charming are just a few words that describe Tino, co-founder of Waddido.com.
One of his biggest passions is graphic design. So much so that it went from his hobby, to a business. From business cards to magazines and print ads, Tino has built a strong portfolio in the marketing and advertising industry.
In 2009, he started an online printing/design company called PrintHubOnline.com, after a high demand of requests for design and printing projects he kept receiving from previous business colleagues, friends and business owners in various states.
This 33-year old entrepreneur's portfolio includes ownership interests in multiple media marketing companies including a magazine and now web-based media firm Waddido.com. In fact, he has been featured a couple of times in the Tri-Cities Area Journal Of Business.
When not working or creating something new, Tino enjoys jetsetting over to Northern California, where he resided before moving to the Tri-Cities, to visit friends and family.
Dedicated to life, family and success, he is sure to make a splash in any of his endeavors!
Michael
Copy Writer, Writer, Editor
Michael (aka The Mich) has been a published writer / author for over six years. He started off his writing career as an off shoot from his duties as Marketing Manager for several previous employers. Soon a local magazine picked up his articles which motivated him to publish his first book. Since then Mich has grown his portfolio to include copy writing and to start work on his second book.
Well-traveled, student of life and keen observer of human nature, Michael’s writings put into, sometimes humorous context, human behaviors and how they relate to today’s social climate. Willing to try almost anything once, his worldly experience will make the reader say “ahaa!” over and over again.
Veronica
Director of Social Events
She's kind of a big deal (at least that's what her friends say). Maybe they chaulk it up to her world travels; Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Paris, her mom's house (in Richland).
It all started 22 years ago. After high school (Go Bombers!) and college (Go Cougs!), Veronica held corporate positions at Microsoft, General Electric, and Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts. She ventured out on her own to create Meeting & Event Professionals, Inc. Several Fortune 500 companies pepper her résumé as she created fun, strategic, and sometimes down right bazaar events. Good times...good times!
"Lady V" brings her creative genius to Waddido.com's hosted events. She'll shake your hand if she's not shaking the hand of a famous CEO. She collects those, you know...handshakes, that is. Among her most memorable are the right hands of Tony George (Indy 500), Tom Stemberg (Staples), Bill Marriott (Marriott Hotels & Resorts), and most recently, Bill Ayer (Alaska Airlines).
With a résumé like THIS, who wouldn't want to attend Waddido.com's events?!
