About

Paul has over a decade of experience putting on events. He got his start with his love of craft beer and selling merchandise at various events under the "I'm A Beer Hound" brand. This led to becoming involved in organizing some of our longest running events including "Lansing Beerfest" and "Beerfest at the Ballpark". Paul and Alex first started working together on Oktoberfest Grand Rapids before joining forces as "5475 Days".

When Paul isn't putting on an event he spends his time focusing on vendor relationships for our events, booking musicians and overseeing our graphic design.

Alex got his starts taking the reigns of Oktoberfest Grand Rapids. The event has been running in various forms for over forty years. The last ten have seen Alex as festival director. In that time the events attendance and footprint have dramatically grown. When Paul was first getting the Bourbon Events off the ground he called in Alex for some additional support. Years and many events later we've become "5475 Days".

When not putting on an event Alex handles our back office functions - Finance, Technology, HR, Insurance, event venues, equipment rentals and our Box Office / Ticket Sales.
