On The Move Entertainment

After graduating the University of Michigan with a degree in Archeology, Darren did what every other Indiana Jones wannabe did… he started an entertainment company. Thousands of events later, across the span of 28 years, Darren’s passion for entertainment and eye for the most minute detail is uncanny. On his days off, he enjoys a good handyman project, and Johnny Walker Blue. But usually not at the same time.

Troy has an accomplished history in the entertainment industry, which includes being signed to the international Latin boy-band sensation, “Menudo” at just 17 years old. With over 20 years of experience in the recording studio and on stage, Troy knows what it takes to curate the live bands and ensembles that make up the core of On The Move. As a bandleader, Troy headlines his own curated super-band as well as the highly touted “Sway Orchestra” featuring Troy at the helm of a 30-piece ensemble.

After globe-trekking managing multitudes of overly flexible world class cirque performers, twisted sideshow stars, and an entire roster of “mini-impersonators” such as Mini-Britney, & Mini-Marilyn Manson, Rocky was finally rescued from falling down the rabbit hole by Darren and merged her 16-year boutique sized representation of unique specialty talent, Rock-L Productions with On the Move in 2014. Rocky is the direct hotline to the most remarkable engaging talent along with a thorough understanding of when they are a perfect impactful fit!

Ps: Please do not tell her about any homeless dogs or she will try and keep them.

Scott Byron Warfel is On The Move’s resident Ohioan, visual artist, and the gay guy who answers the phone. Since graduating from Columbus College of Art & Design, he’s been primarily known for his accomplishments as a visual guru and his distinct font-like hand-lettering. In his spare time, he enjoys curating his Instagram feed to perfection and writing love letters to his in-office crush, Dani. His true BFF is a black cat named Gregg, who Buzzfeed recently featured because he’s the coolest cat in Brooklyn.

Todd delights in creating solutions through technology, while supporting a lifelong passion for music and the arts.  His programming and code background began over 20 years ago with Native Instruments Reaktor, where his sound designs remain a part of Native Instruments Komplete.  His music has been released on Sound Ink records, and performed throughout the city from old school Tonic to the Whitney Museum. He taught for 10 years at The Institute of Audio Research and holds a BFA from The New School University in music composition.  In 2014 he co-founded The Underground Producers Alliance with former professor and mentor Raz Mesinai.  At On The Move, Todd has grown from something of a hacker to a full stack developer (both internal and external code), while keeping the art and business of music close at hand.

Josh is truly a “jack-of-all-trades”. He has danced his way into the office and into the client’s hearts since day one with his upbeat energy and passion for all things event-related. He wears multiple hats, so in a single week you could see him go from shakin’ his booty on the dance floor, to overseeing and managing an intensely complex A/V set-up, and then bouncing back to the office to edit a highlight reel.

Bringing all the events to life through her cinematic video edits, Shannon has consistently raised the bar since her debut in 2017 with electrifying highlight reels. A firm believer in K-pop and jazz squares, this theatergoer knows a thing or two about bringing the crowd to feels through her musical cuts and mean kazoo playing.

After a life of fun in the sun working for a Director/Producer in Los Angeles, Michelle decided to follow her dream of living in NYC, which landed her at On The Move as our newest Production Coordinator! With a background in events, hospitality and production management she brings a keen eye for organization around the office and acts as Darren’s “Girl Friday”. When she’s not hard at work keeping the day to day operations running smoothly, you can find her playing softball out in Central Park or road tripping around the East Coast to make checks off her baseball stadium bucket list!

Tyler set aside his passion for video and instead decided to graduate from Suffolk University with a BS in Psychology. But after traveling around Europe for seven months, he realized he could no longer ignore the desire to cut, splice, and blend video into some seriously awesome edits. After working his way up in the hospitality industry to Beverage Director in a fine-dining restaurant on the Upper East Side, he finally found his way to On The Move as a budding star in the video department. He’s a “wears fake glasses for the looks kind of guy” with a never-say-die attitude. He’s steadfast in his argument that Italy makes better Cabernet Francs than France and that New Zealand Sauv Blancs can’t hold a candle to a Sancerre. If you ask him to juggle for you, he probably will.

Alex is a multi-talented audio engineer and director with 16 years of live music, performance, and world-tour experience. Alex has performed in over 15 countries on 4 continents, sharing the stage with Deftones, Taking Back Sunday, New Found Glory, Against Me!, and more. In addition to performing, Alex is also a song writer, having released a dozen records, many of which he recorded and engineered himself. After starting a family, Alex decided to leave the touring life and begin engineering live sound for events in the tri-state area. These skills combined give him a unique perspective on live sound and engineering, making him a perfect fit for the On The Move team.

A West Coaster at heart, Jeff was born in Seattle but moved eastwards to study architectural design at Northeastern University. He uses his magnifying vision of dimensional form and space to drive his creativity to develop unique and custom curated experiential events. When he’s not designing Barbie’s next dream home or getting down with Salt-N-Pepa on a double decker bus you can find his drag alter ego, Le Purdeu strutting the streets of NYC looking for a good Kiki.
