Cody Lowery

President, Coast to Coast Events

Born in southern Mississippi and raised in north Alabama, Cody Lowery started his career in hands-on, labor-intensive jobs before stepping into his first sales role in 2000. His drive and natural ability to connect with people quickly set him apart. In 2006, he was selected to represent a Fortune 500 client in a brand-new test market in Mobile, AL — one of the first in the country to do so — and delivered standout results. His success led to nationwide travel, training other managers on how to achieve the same level of performance for clients. Settling in Mobile, Cody became known for developing strong leaders and building teams that consistently exceeded expectations. In 2021, he relocated Coast to Coast Events' corporate headquarters to the Greater New Orleans area to oversee regional operations. Under his leadership, the company has expanded into more markets and programs than ever before, solidifying C2C Events as a leader in innovative marketing and sales solutions.

Leadership

Ian started his Coast to Coast journey in 2024 after years of trying different jobs and sales roles without truly connecting any of them. At C2C, he found an environment where personal development, opportunity, and helping others could all come together to create a career that matters. For Ian, the best part of the job is seeing how much he has developed since starting, and sharing his accomplishments with his wife and family. Born in Mississippi and raised in a small Louisiana town, Ian always felt there was something bigger waiting for him beyond the bayous. Coast to Coast has given him the opportunity to pursue that bigger future he always hoped for.

Administrative Team

Born and raised in Mobile, AL alongside her two sisters, Alice began her journey with Coast to Coast Events in 2009 after answering an ad that would connect her with Cody Lowery as his administrator. In those early years, she played a key role in helping open new locations across the Southeast, building a foundation for the company's expansion. Over time, Alice explored nearly every corner of the business — from sales to human resources — gaining a deep understanding of what makes the organization thrive. Today, she oversees operations for all locations while managing the administrative side of the NOLA branch.

Nathaniel Schrupp

Administrative Team

Nate joined Coast to Coast five months ago after spending eight years serving in the Marine Corps and later owning his own construction company. That background taught him adaptability, discipline, and how to step up wherever he's needed—skills he now brings to the C2C team. His favorite part of the job is the people. Nate enjoys working alongside a great team and finding new ways to serve those around him. Originally from Minnesota, Nate spends his free time coding and working on app development. When he's not building something, he's probably binge-watching a favorite series—from Yellowstone and Game of Thrones to Landman and Stranger Things.
