What happens when great friends start a company and intend to laugh hard every day? RumbleDrum, of course. Todd had spent 25 years as an architect working with some great people and incredible companies. Joe had worked with events through non-profits, small business, large corporate, government and education – and after owning his own company for several years, he was ready to start something new. After several cups of coffee, lunches and breakfasts – it was a simple text message from Todd that ignited the idea of starting something new. When people meet the creative duo, they do not believe that Joe is the introvert and Todd is the out-going one — Once you’ve been around them awhile and you see Todd in the middle of the people and Joe huddled in the corner with his laptop and drinking Diet Coke, it all starts to make sense. As they were launching RumbleDrum, they divided responsibilities by saying that Joe is words and Todd is numbers — numbers include dates and times and dollars — and words are words—lots of them. Together, they bring a fun but practical approach to the event world. They think through every detail from layout including fire egress and ADA standards to how guests “feel” when they walk in the room. Getting to know them is an adventure. For best results be sure to learn some of their “rules” like not letting Joe meet with humans before 9:30 in the morning and providing Todd a steady supply of dark chocolate.
