Larry "Lucky" Lewinski Call Center Associate

A long time Wig Wam Groupie, Larry, affectionately known as Lucky, came to Key West via Mexico where he built a reputation as a Master Treasure Hunter. He was quickly picked by a local Salvage Operation and was on several Shipwreck Recovery Teams. “Lucky” for us, he found a Gold Bar on one of his dives and decided to retire from salvaging to follow his dreams of working in the Music and Event Industry. Since he’s been at Mako Moco, his main mission is to beat out Rocco Diamond for Employee of the Year. You might be one of our “Lucky Callers” when he is manning the Box Office Phones!

Rocco Diamond Security Detail

Mako Moco’s very first Employee of the Month, Rocco Diamond has only known “event life” in his three years on Planet Earth. He takes his job as Director of Security very seriously, but he is still found sleeping on the job from time to time. He will continue to grow with the company and will likely take on more roles as he matures. For now, he gets by on his dashing good looks and charming personality – and cookies!
