Jesse Aron: President & Member Relations

As President of the EEN, Jesse's job requires several duties.  Jesse will oversee the applicant screening process and determine the applicants eligibility to the  network.  Paying tribute to the King requires dedication and commitment to the craft.  ETA's in the network constantly strive improve their tribute through rehearsals and research.  Jesse dedicates time every single day to fine-tune his own tribute and knows the hard work that the ETA's put into their art to bring a quality show to their fans.
Voice: Vocals are of extreme importance.  Any member of the EEN must be able to sing first and foremost.  An ETA does not need to have an exact replication of Elvis' voice but it is imperative that fans are treated to a solid vocals at our Elvis events.
Appearance : Remember were here to represent all of the good points about Elvis in his appearance and not the derogatory stereotype of an Elvis act.  The EEN will represent polished ETA's who pay close attention to all aspects of their appearance, neat, clean and respectful to the image of Elvis Presley, rather than a caricature of Elvis.  We do not want to feed into what the mainstream media beholds as an Elvis tribute.
Performance: The fans want to be entertained!  Jesse is an Elvis fan before he dons his jumpsuit and when he is not working, likes to be entertained as well.  EEN members need to capture that special something that can entertain an audience of Elvis fans.  That's what the EEN is looking for...not overdone moves that Elvis didn't do, but somebody with a great rhythm of their own.  We look for ETA's that can add something of themselves and replicate in order to catch audience's attention and hold them until they walk off that stage, always leaving them wanting more.

Jesse will oversee all of the music at track shows and contests to ensure that ETA's are using the proper backing music for all of our events.

There will be NO Vocal Eliminated Tracks!  Use these in your own shows ONLY!
Jesse will also be assisting with the formatting of showcase along with Nance Fox.

When I am approached for a job for one of our members Jesse will negotiate the best package for that entertainer based on the rates that our entertainers garner and go from there.

Tarie Aron: Competition / Public Relations

Tarie will oversee and organize judges for our competitions and oversee their scoring to ensure quality judging.  She is currently in the process of putting together a panel of judges that would be a more permanent panel for all of our Midwestern competitions.
Tarie has worked with several of the top ETA's in the business and her qualifications for this role is reflected in her ability to pay close attention to even the smallest details of an Elvis tribute.  Tarie has acted as a judge in the past and when questioned about scoring can always back her observations with specific references to the performance of Elvis Presley.

Nance Fox & Ronny Craig:  Production

Working together for over a decade, Ronny and Nance are the production portion of the EEN.  Their responsibilities include the pre-planning for all EEN shows and contests and on-site production of these events. 

Ronny brings extensive experience to his role as MC.  He is a former award-winning Tribute Artist and enjoyed a successful singing career in Branson MO.  His complete knowledge of the ETA world and commanding stage presence make him the ideal MC.  Having Ronny on the stage guarantees a smooth running, dynamic show. 

Nance and Ronny met 13 years ago at Ronny's first Elvis Explosion in LaCrosse,WI.  Quickly recognizing each other's perfectly complimentary skills, they formed a partnership that becomes more productive each year.  As a result, the Explosion has grown to be the largest Elvis event in the country. 

Nance's background includes many years in medicine and real estate followed by 14 years of owning EEN.  Her organizational skills and attention to detail make the back stage streamlined and efficient. 

Ronny and Nance work both independent and EPE-sanctioned events.  These events have raised over $100,000 for such charities as the Children's' Miracle Network.

From inception through show time, Ronny and Nance handle every facet of an event.
