About Lars Thorn

I creatively cultivate community by bringing people together around politics, sports, business and through education! I unite people and inspire support for political leaders and causes creating world-class events like inaugurations, conventions, bilateral meetings, political rallies, marches, bus tours, fundraisers and Advance Camp. I've worked in all 50 US States and 5 continents working 4 Presidential Elections, 5 Olympic Games, the Olympic Torch Relay, the FIFA World Cup and Trophy Tour, Major League Baseball All-Star Game and as the first-ever Manager of Media Relations for the Washington Nationals among countless sports events. I have always been a creative entrepreneur and have created two successful and profitable businesses while also helping a solar start-up as the first employee which sold in three years for $57 million. I am the Co-Owner & CEO of EMPIRE Games and our first family board game is ICE CREAM EMPIRE which teaches children how to become an entrepreneur through the ice cream industry. Since 2011, I have been the Co-Owner & COO of UNCORKED! Games have Co-Created WHISKEY BUSINESS, BREW HA HA! & READ BETWEEN THE WINES! which have all become Amazon's Choice! I have fully funded all four of my Kickstarter campaigns raising almost and a third of a million dollars in game sales on Amazon in just the last two years! I love sharing my diverse professional and events experience and inspiring the next generation as a professor, teacher, speaker, mentor and coach.

I've been an Athletic Director, PE Teacher and coaching varsity and middle school teams and also creating a summer baseball camp. I am recently married to my incredible, Harvard-educated wife Julia who I met working at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
