As the CEO, he is responsible for business development, implementing social media and branding strategies, recruitment, managing agendas, creating member events, and builds relationships with theme parks and industry leaders. Prime formulates business objectives and makes strategic decisions for MCN.
When Prime is not catching a flight to Hersheypark, he enjoys spending time with family and watching the Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts play football. Prime grew up on the Gulf Coast enjoying the boating life with his father. Coming from a family of athletes, Prime grew up traveling around the country playing competitive baseball. His dream was to become a professional baseball player and he never thought he would become a roller coaster enthusiast. With a presence that fills any room, he is the life of the party. He never meets a stranger, just a new friend. Prime is a very competitive person and loves participating in various activities such as corn hole, pool, bowling, and playing board games. In Prime’s professional life, he has been in law enforcement for more than 10 years.
