Alan Wendt—Company Founder

Journalist for print, magazine, radio, TV and now the Internet – Alan is our resident thrill seeker and crystal ball gazer. From covering global disasters and conflicts to petty zoning board disputes, from interviewing stars to anchoring the TV news, Alan has always enjoyed finding ways to communicate. So when 8mm film cameras gave way to VHS tape decks, Wendt Productions was born. Today, Alan provides creative support to the Wendt team, researches emerging trends and keeps clients abreast of the incentives and promos that will motivate their customers and employees. A million miler on Delta, when he’s not flying, you’ll find him choreographing the local 4th of July fireworks show set to music.

 

Ryan Wendt—Vice President

A graduate of the University of South Florida with an advanced degree in Athletic Training, Ryan traded stinky locker room socks and jocks for a more challenging gridiron handling multi-million dollar campaigns with game day logistical precision and execution. Managing client relations and the intricacies of fulfillment, this second generation Wendt has been on board since 1996 and balances Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn to the delight of the Mobile Generation. You can also reach her the old fashioned way via email.

A specialist in serving defense contractors and those who support the military, this native of Oklahoma is one mean Call of Duty player, and a loving mom to her young son.
