Johnathon is the Special Events and Arena Coordinator and there is a lot that goes in that roll! Such as coordinating inventory with numerous departments like delivery, warehouse, merchandising, quality control, etc. The challenges are numerous in predicting how much product is needed in the venues or the many special events he oversees. Sometimes it seems like he would need to talk to the Las Vegas odds makers to figure out how many fans will show up at the Saints and Pelicans games or, how many festival goers will show up at a festival or church fair. Johnathon has accepted the challenges and has done a nice job communicating with the Southern Eagle team on inventory, as well as the Sodexo Team at the Super Dome and Arena. He works daily with the numerous other event coordinators that manage fairs and festivals in our market to make sure we get the products requested to the events on time and then picked up after the event. Johnathon is married to Jennifer, and they will be celebrating their 1-year wedding anniversary soon. He enjoys going to cheer and dance competitions with daughters, Sydnee and Ella Kate. Johnathon is a loyal Alabama Crimson Tide fan (we don’t hold that against him) but enjoys watching all sports. He enjoys gaming and relaxing with family. He also loves cooking for family and friends. His favorite beer is Shiner Bock.
