  • "We had the pleasure of working with Gus as a co-host for our event, and we couldn't have asked for a better emcee. Gus brought a ton of energy to the event, matching the excitement of the contest perfectly. Not only was he professional to work with, both before and during the event, but he also showed incredible foresight in predicting potential needs and pitfalls for his role. His experience and attention to detail brought us peace of mind, knowing we had a true professional at the helm. This was especially true as he assisted with our new, never before done game for this year. His strong, engaging presence made the event an even bigger success!"
