Let's Work Together

About

Good ideas. Odd approaches. Meaningful results.

OddGood Events is led by Max Rykov, a creative thinker, event host, and community engagement professional.

Hi, I'm Max.

For over 13 years, I have been creating, producing, and hosting fun events that boost awareness, engagement, and raise money for important causes. There's nothing that lights me up as much as seeing people having meaningful, whimsical fun together while celebrating something they care about. I think that's something we all crave, and as adults - we don't get to do that enough.

My professional career has included marketing, non-profit development leadership, and city government communications. I'm also America's only freelance quarterback (opens in a new tab).

I'm also the founder of The Other Foundation (opens in a new tab), a giving circle organization that awards monthly micro-grants to community projects that make life better for people in Birmingham, Alabama.
