For nearly a decade and a half Marc O’Brien learned the importance of communication when he transitioned from therapeutic horse back riding with a leader and two side walkers to independent jumping competition in the South Florida Hunter/Jumper Association.

The former New Jersey resident participated in the disabled riding program, Special People United to Ride, in Monmouth County New Jersey, and at the South Wind Farm program in Davie, Florida. The riding experiences at these two venues, along with the jumper competition enabled Marc to learn many valuable interpersonal concepts. Lessons that were learned included: sensitivity, teamwork, and respect for the unexpected.

Throughout his professional career he has developed numerous ways to disseminate information in an effective manner. His experience has enabled him to develop positive relationships that can translate into effective public relations. Now living in Las Vegas, Marc continues to utilize his creative talents to effectively communicate messages and ideas in a concise manner.
