There's a person who calls himself an "event planner" in town who gets invited to events and then walks around the event making uncomfortable jokes and telling weird repetitive stories to build superficial charm and trust with unknowing victims. He walks around acting all important claiming he was the one got the sound guy hired for the event or arranged the venue or set this or that up or any other claims he can get away with, to impress the people he invites in with him. Unknowing to the actual event planner. He has never fooled me though. I have patrons at my events who report back to me what he is saying and doing. It's not his event, he works for free for people to get into the event for free, he doesn't make any of the decisions, or do any of the planning and takes the credit. It's infuriating to us actually event planners. He gets a couple of people he wants to impress in for free with him or a girlfriend and then claims to be a big wig for the event. Little to the knowledge of the actual event planner, he is claiming to have put together much of the event. He gets people into events for free with him who have something else to offer him. He rotates women constantly because he can't keep them around. I feel bad for whoever his current victim is. I reached out to a blonde girl he dated last year, she's extremely smart, funny, sweet and a good person. I was impressed. He started a smear campaign about her and that's how I heard who she was and I reached out. I offered my incite and knowledge of him because I've had to deal with this guy for years conning the community at my events. I provided her a lot of comfort. He appears mysterious, but he just jumps around so fast nobody can truly get to see what a loser he is. He's all about volunteering for free, doing nice things for people he's trying to get something from, even if it's just admiration and attention, he'd never admit it and he manipulates people into believing he'd never do that, don't believe his words. Listen to your intuition. He's getting better at being a covert narcissist. Do research on what that is before getting involved with this guy. Since he doesn't have an actual job and his mommy pays his bills, he is able to get people into even my events for free making himself look legit when he's really a manipulative con artist. He used to claim to be one of the owners of salt lake comic con when I first met him until the owner was interviewed on a radio show and asked about it and the owner had no idea who he even was and he claimed on a radio show I listened to that he has a PHD in Social Work and other things easy to prove as lies. He disappears when you start asking too many questions because he's so scared of getting found out. Silence is a common manipulative power play tactic with this nutcase. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. This guy does this at my events and I have to clean up the messes he makes. It gets utterly tiring. I have distanced myself from him, although, I still follow him on social media because I have to protect my assets and make sure he's not doing anything too public. Although I've notice he never ever says anything he tells people one on one on social media about my events and getting the venue and sound guy, which I actually did. Wtf is this guy's problem taking credit for my work! I still allow him to come around and be my FB friend because I do not want the kind of drama he is capable or producing and bringing. I have heard from dozens of people his lies. Sociopaths are scary people, especially covert ones, so all I can do is warn people. It's better to have a dangerous person with little man syndrome trying to be bigger than he is around thinking he is part of the crew and clean up the puddles of piss he leaves around the room, than to have this covert sociopath attacking me and my events. This guy should be in jail and not able to hurt people anymore. I hope more stories come out about this guy. I did a google search on his name and saw the other post about him and decided to add my own story. It looks like he tries to turn things he has done wrong into jokes when he has genuinely hurt people and people's events and relationships with zero empathy. He's a pathological liar and has decades of experience getting away with scamming people and fast talking and putting down people's guard by making them laugh and hooking them with gifts and compliments. Don't fall for it. You're not special to him just like his last victim was not special to him. He disguises himself as a codependent empathetic giver, clumsy harmless comedian, don't fall for it. He is only this way to get what he wants and then discards it when he is done. If you can find one of his exes who wasn't abused, I'd be amazed!
