After spending years perfecting his craft for institutions like the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Frank took to his garage in 2006 to build a new kind of event company. Today, that company is Excel, the Mid-Atlantic’s go-to answer for exceptional event and lighting solutions. Even though he has overseen some of the region’s biggest moments — from the Ravens Super Bowl Ring Ceremony to the France Merrick Performing Arts Center lighting installation — Frank admits that his passion to create perfect experiences still makes his palms a little sweaty just before a live event begins.

General Manager Alicia Lin handles the day-to-day operations, sales, and event management at Excel Event Solutions. She brought her love for —and experience in — the performing arts to Excel in 2013 after more than a decade of working with The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Baltimore Orchestra. Always up for a challenge, Alicia serves as the event manager for many of our most elaborate and awe-inspiring client events, including the Chimes Gala and The LifeBridge Health Magic of Life Gala.

As account executive, Nick loves nothing more than that first moment a client experiences their event. His “never say no” attitude and wild imagination have led to out-of-the-box ideas and jaw-dropping results. With certifications and training in all aspects of lighting and staging, there is no idea he can’t bring to life with a little — or a lot of — creativity.

Hailey is the brains behind our marketing and social media efforts. She joined with the goal of creating memories and delivering results for clients. With experience in sales and marketing , Hailey knows how to capture an event to make it look as epic online as it does in person.
