One of the most successful telemark skiers in the world, Adam Comey, and a US and World Extreme Skiing Champion, Dave Swanwick, combined their talents to create MSI. Adam's leadership grew the company to include big-air snowboarding/skiing, skateboarding, BMX, snowmobiling, boarder- and ski-cross, and combined music and sports festivals; Dave's experience as a professional athlete/heli-ski guide provided invaluable perspective to event production. From concept creation and public relations to entertainment and logistics, these marketing experts have elevated mountain sports within the sports market.

Dave Swanwick was born and raised in Manhattan and attended the University of Vermont where he received a degree in Political Science and a minor in French.
Upon founding MSI, Dave initially focused on business development via his industry connections as a US and World Extreme Skiing Champion. His experience as a professional athlete and a professional heli-ski guide has brought an invaluable perspective to MSI's event production. As the company grew Dave focused his energies on the operations side of the company overseeing or managing the production teams on virtually every MSI project, providing him a wealth of knowledge into many events, formats and client strategies.
