Daniel Meursing, CEO of Premier Staff, transitioned from being a model server while working for a catering company in NYC to launching his own luxury event staffing service in LA. Initially struggling with financial hardships while living with his mother, Meursing capitalized on a chance meeting at an art party that led to his first event staffing opportunity.
