Vice PresidentMike McCaleb
Mike got his start making demo reels for comedians while he was an assistant manager at the Brea Improv comedy club. His favorite class in film school was Documentary Film.
He used to be a baseball umpire, so he’s used to getting yelled at. Mike has been a filmmaker for (almost) twenty years. 19. He loves it. He equally loves shooting and editing. He also loves laughing, and feeling like he is making a difference for people. Mike was previously involved with Wedding Industry Professionals Association, and Association of Bridal Consultants. His experience in these networking groups brings knowledge and ideas for IEP to build from. Mike is easy to get along with, comfortable, and friendly, because he doesn’t have to worry about what comes next. He already knows. He’s been there. He would love to be there for you, too. |

MembershipJordan Larmay
Growing up, Jordan was always the event planner. Hosting themed parties for holidays or the end of school was her specialty in graded school. It was only natural for her to go to college and pursue a degree in Event Management. After interning and working in the events industry since 2011, she took a leap of faith to take over Unveiled Design and Events from its original owner in 2015. In 2021, she quit her "9-5" job and made this side hustle a full time gig. She enjoys networking and connecting with all event industry professionals, which makes her a great fit to oversee membership for IEP.
