United States - Kansas City, Missouri,

Are you always looking for something fun and new to do in your city and not finding what you are looking for? Do you need help with making a virtual event an experience? Do you wish there was a better way to meet new people and create awesome friendships? Have you played in mismanaged sports leagues or attended a crappy event?

I get it. I’ve been there. About 10 years ago I was new to my city, driving all over looking for quality sports and events and trying to meet new friends. I went to several events that were nothing but walking from bar to bar. I’d show up for my softball league and the lights would be off with no one there. Turns out the games were canceled but no one notified all the players. I was SOOO tired of this. I just wanted to get out of my house, have some fun and meet some new people. I just couldn’t find what I was looking for.

So 8 years ago I started 1 softball league for my friends in downtown Kansas City and now we’ve had over 51,000 participants play with us in everything from Sand Volleyball, Basketball, Pickleball, Cornhole, kickball, softball and more all over the city.

I also started one-day events like a Grilled Cheese Festival, an Underachiever’s Run, a Zombie Crawl and more that’s had over 16,000 attendees.

Not only was I able to leave my full-time job 5 years ago but I’ve also helped create a thriving active and connected community. We now have 4 full-time employees, 40 part-time officials and our office is an arena!

I’ve helped others in my local community but now I want to help more people just like you all over the country. Remember, this has taken me over 8 years and I’ve definitely failed and made mistakes along the way. I want to show you how to create something awesome in your city without making all the mistakes I made. And not only can you do this, but I’ll also teach you how to start something within 1 month! Don’t wait 8 years to get started. You don’t have to swing for home runs right of the dugout. Let me teach you how to get a base hit, immediately.

I love helping others so please reach out or check out more at www.TheCommunityCreator.com
