Dave Lucas and Live-360, the company he formed last year after leaving Clear Channel Entertainment, spent most of 2005 consulting and helping others promote their events. Now, he’s ready to concentrate on his own business and has hired four new staffers to that end.

New to the company are senior production manager Eric Milby, marketing director Jo Nahod, public relations director Andy Wilson and booking coordinator Amie LoPresti.

“Obviously, I’ve worked with all of them for many years and we have mutual respect for one another,” Lucas said. “My plans looking forward are to start expanding, because I’d been doing quite a bit of consulting in the past year with various groups for various things and it is time now to refocus on my company.”
