Christie Catania

Christie was raised in northern, NJ but has spent much of her life living and traveling far from the Garden State.

After studying Recreation Management and Tourism at Arizona State University, Christie hit the road (and air) and has been to all 50 states and touched on six of the Earth’s seven continents.

Christie has been surprising and delighting participants and guests since 2001, while designing and executing multi day walks & rides, experiential marketing events, concerts, and touring productions. After a long stint in the outdoor recreation industry in southeast Alaska, living on tour busses, and moving every six months for 12 years, Christie landed in Fort Collins, CO where she created and ran a national marketing tour for New Belgium Brewing Company for 11 years. Christie spends a lot of her time with Eventage focusing on cause-driven event logistics and takes any opportunity to collaborate on the creative and experiential design.

Although she LOVES coming back east for work and family, Colorado’s front range remains her home where she spends her free time skiing, snowboarding, cooking, riding bikes, seeing music, drowning in house projects, and planning her next adventure with her partner Brian and her soul dog, Reggie.
