Mark Stotzer is a believer in servant leadership and common sense. He’s spent about thirty years mostly in the business of getting difficult things done on budget and on time in entertainment production, technology, and real estate, beginning with MS Production Services in 1999, turning creative vision into reality for agencies, producers, venues, artists, casinos, and universities. Through Lucky Shoe Productions he handles talent buying, venue design, permitting, and box office management.
- In 2015 he founded InnoVision to build VR and interactive training systems for high-pressure environments — operating rooms, special operations training, NFL and NCAA sidelines.
- He also ran operations at the Monterey Jazz Festival for thirteen years and has been producing festivals, concerts, and events since 2001.
- Part of his focus now is buildings. With Lucky Shoe Property Holdings and RenOVATION Ohio, a nonprofit he started in 2023, he restores older homes and commercial buildings in Midwest neighborhoods that haven't seen investment in decades.
- Mark has served on the board of the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company since 2024, and he joined the board of the Moravian Music Foundation in January 2026. He’s also done special project work for Cincinnati Ballet.
- Mark’s other ventures over the years include restoring a drive-in theater and ownership in a variety of food and beverage businesses, and even a Pilates studio.
