Tom Worcester

Hey lunchbox fam, I’m Tom Worcester - if you’ve got a lunchbox, there’s a good chance I’ve chased you (and your lunchbox) down in the crowd at a show! My first festival was Ultra in 2013 (back when Calvin Harris was headlining), and my favorite DJ is Wax Motif after discovering him at EZOO in 2018. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from Wake Forest University, though I far prefer the school of life. I play tennis as much as I can (have been playing for 20+ years), go on long trail runs on sunny days, read a book every two weeks, and bring my camera on my adventures so I am always able see the world from a different perspective. My fun fact is that my favorite part about going to live events is going off on my own to meet more members of the lunchbox fam & making them smile - wherever they may be!

Meredith Lostaglio

Hey fam! I’m Meredith Lostaglio and I’m the Co-Founder and Director of E-Commerce at lunchbox. I attended my first festival, Spring Awakening, back in high school and was first introduced to lunchbox at EZoo in 2018. My favorite DJ is Anna Lunoe, in part because of her music but also because she’s a trailblazing badass. I have a Bachelors in Foreign Service from Georgetown University, and spend most of my free time researching foreign affairs with a focus on American involvement in conflict zones, protest movements, and global health. A fun fact about me is that I grew up in Tokyo, Japan!

Brandon Gray

Hello World! I'm Brandon Gray and I'm the Director of Operations and Director of Health and Safety at lunchbox. I have been a Rave/PLUR/Kandi Kid since around 1995 - Yes, UFO and JNCO jeans and all. I guess my first actual festival was Ultra 2002. I am not sure if I have a favorite DJ. I love Kaskade, Above & Beyond, old Gabriel and Dresden. Most recently I have been fan boying out to Jason Ross, Seven Lions, and Inzo. My live show claim to fame is seeing Daft Punk twice for their Alive 97 and Alive 07 tours. My educational background is in Psychology and Sociology with a career background in real estate and fraud detection. I grew up in Colorado, Texas, and on the tiny island of St Maarten but for right now I call Atlanta home. I love snow skiing, hiking, and SCUBA diving. I don't really have any fun facts but I am part of the 0.033% of the population with webbed feet so that is special.

Andrew Zimmerman

Hi fam! My name is Andrew and I'm from Long Island and have lived in New York City for the last 5 years. My love for music festivals began at Electric Zoo in 2015, which has led to me traveling as far as Belgium for Tomorrowland! I'll never miss a set by Above & Beyond, Eric Prydz or Paul Van Dyk, so if there's a lineup that has any of these 3 playing at the same time I'll have an emotional breakdown (So far in the clear, knock on wood). Festivals and work aside, I enjoy traveling to experience new cultures, soccer, board games, bike riding, working out, squading up in Call of Duty and keeping up with technology trends. Can't wait to see you at the next festival!

Emma Kapotes

Hey fam, I’m Emma Kapotes and I’m the Director of Community & Culture at lunchbox. I was born and raised in New Jersey and graduated from the College of New Jersey in 2013 with a degree in Graphic Design. I experienced my first EDM show back in 2011 and have been hooked ever since! Some of my favorite artists include Seven Lions, Oliver Heldens, Eric Prydz and Above & Beyond. My favorite festival is EDC Las Vegas…I’ve been 5 times in a row! When I’m not attending shows or festivals, I’m creating content for my YouTube channel and podcast ‘Rave Culture Cast.’

Jose Rodriguez

HEY FAM! I'm Jose Rodriguez and I'm the customer service rep and part of the community team here at lunchbox. I've been raving since 2012 and have never looked back. Favorite DJ's include Above & Beyond, Eric Prydz, Seven Lions, Armin Van Buuren, and Ilan Bluestone. My favorite festival/place on Earth is Tomorrowland! Though Electric Forest doesn't fall far behind! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Economics from SUNY Cortland. I'm also a High School Travel and Collegiate Soccer Coach. My favorite part about this community is being able to travel all over the world and meet people from every walk of life. Nothing makes me happier than seeing us all come together through the power of music and love. And for that reason, I hope to meet every single one of you under the electric sky!

Casey Baril

Hi lunchbox fam! I’m Casey Baril (aka KC) and I am the Social Media Manager at lunchbox. My first festival was Backyard Barbecue in 2011 and my first EDM festival was Buku Music & Arts Fest. I love a lot of artists and genres, but I think the Wakaan fam has my heart (shoutout Sully). I also love Alison Wonderland, Illenium, and Jantsen...so I’m all over the board! I recently graduated from the University of Mississippi with a B.S. in Integrated Marketing Communication and moved to Boston, MA. I also love sailing (especially with the lunchbox), reading, yoga, and all things pink.

Garrett Winslett

Hi there Lunchbox Fam, my name is Garrett Winslett. I am the lunchbox ‘Hall Monitor’, and I am from Marble Falls, Texas. My hobbies include working out, creating mixes and mashups as a DJ, and spending time with my friends and dog, Buford. I’m a lover of all things house, tech specifically, but love to sprinkle in trance and dubstep when at festivals. What got me hooked onto music festivals was the genuine love and respect shown from everyone in attendance. Music truly is a universal love language, and I love being able to share those moments with everyone!

Lauren Spicer

What’s up Lunchbox fam? I’m Lauren and I handle the bookkeeping at Lunchbox! A little about me, I live in the Atlanta, GA area with my husband and our cat. My first music festival was Bonnaroo 2016, but I have been going to shows and concerts since I was a teen. Some of my favorite artists include Excision, Liquid Stranger, and Zhu; I enjoy rap music too. When I’m not working or enjoying music, my interests include yoga, swimming, shopping, and building my business.

Amir Elsaeidy

Wussup lunchbox fam! My name is Amir Elsaeidy, but I also go by Chad or Sucio. I’m our fam content specialist, and I’m from Brooklyn, New York! I may shuffle but I’m all about going DEEP in a festival crowd & raging with my homies! I LOVE SEVEN LIONS! My philosophy in life has always been led by thinking about how I’ll look back when I’m older & how I’ll do whatever it takes to know I lived life to the fullest...especially when it comes to creating memories that I’ll cherish. Happy I get to create them with all of you!

Cami Shahan

Hi Fam! My name is Cami! I am originally from Bogota, Colombia, grew up in Florida and currently live in Denver, Colorado with my hubby and my two dogs! I started raving in 2019, when I went to EDC Las Vegas with a friend for her birthday and immediately fell in love with the music and the amazing culture. My favorite DJ is Kaskade, and I can never narrow it down to the top 5 after him, I like so many!! I am a huge bass and tech house fan, but I also really enjoy trance and trap!

Evan Tuinier

Hello Lunchbox Fam! My name is Evan. I'm originally from the small town of Gardnerville, Nevada but I've lived in Las Vegas for the last 14 years. I'm currently engaged to be married and we have 3 beautiful children. I first got into the rave and festival scene after going to Vegoose in 2007. Since then, I've been to multiple shows and festivals each year including Holy Ship (my absolute fav), EDC LV, Coachella, and Hard Summer just to name a few. If I were to pick my top 5 favorite DJs I'd have to go with Skrillex, Porter Robinson, Daft Punk, Seven Lions, and Chris Lake! I love all genres of dance music and I'm always looking for new and upcoming artists.
