Carl Monzo, Founder of National Event Services – Carl began his career in Emergency Services in 1979. During his early career, Carl found the sports and entertainment industry was lacking in quality, professional emergency medical care. Based on this, Carl helped develop the first private ambulance service in Pennsylvania exclusively serving the special events industry. As Emergency Services have grown and evolved considerably over the last four decades, Carl has led the charge ensuring a safe environment for mass gathering sporting events, concerts and music festivals. He wrote some of the first safety planning manuals and built staffing models where none previously existed. These manuals and staffing models set the tone for emergency services in the festival community and are still being used today.
