Tim Mathes
Managing Director

Tim MathesFrom that fateful day when Tim Mathes left high school for the Crystal Palace Review in Ogallala, Nebraska, he's been part of the entertainment industry.  Onstage and off, in front of and behind the camera, he's been making people laugh, cry, think and most importantly...enjoy themselves.

Tim has traveled the world, performing on stages in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America and Europe.  His talents have been featured in THE WHO'S TOMMY, GUYS AND DOLLS, KING AND I, FOOTLOOSE, GREASE, JUNGLE MAN, A CHORUS LINE and  BARNUM... just to name a few.  On camera, he's starred as Jay Gatsby in THE GREAT GATSBY for the Learning Channel's Great Book Series and you've likely seen him in  Indy films and commercials.

Backstage you might spot him managing crews of 60+ people as a Production Stage Manager, Master Electrician, Production Manager, Technical Director and Company Manager.  As a founding partner of 3D Productions, Inc., Tim held the position of General Manager, helping produce full scale touring Broadway entertainment that grossed millions of dollars a year. The position also drew on his wide-range of skills, calling on him to develop lighting designs and rigs, manage the technical aspects of productions, handle publicity materials and arrange the day to day life of the acting and technical companies while on their extensive road trips.

On the Internet front, Tim created his own website company, MathesDesign, developing websites for clients all over the country.  Projects ranged from simple HTML and Flash-based sites to complete Content Management Systems and e-commerce enabled online machines.

A recent foray into the 24th century took Tim to the popular Las Vegas family hot spot Star Trek The Experience, where he helped manage the operations of two theme park style attractions.  Keeping track of the final frontier included scheduling and daily rotation of 100+ employees as well as creating video and static displays.  Tim was honored as the 2006 Employee Of The Year, even though as management, he was technically not eligible for the award!  Other Sin City gigs include a stint as a Human Resources Specialist at the 1.2 billion dollar Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa.

Now that he's joined 2bcreative entertainment, you'll find him at the hottest and most exciting entertainment properties around, because Tim is headed...to steal a phrase from Buzz Lightyear...TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
