Steve Edwards
CEO
Love what you do, and you’ll never work a day in your life. I’ve always had that phrase burned into my mind. Over the last 20 years of raising two boys and experiencing the successes, failures, and growth of ten different businesses, I’ve learned a lot and poured this knowledge into AAMP Agency. From my first business operating a car stereo store at the age of 21 to a car dealership, a bar, a few e-commerce companies, selling indoor bathroom ads, and starting a marketing agency back in 2012, I have learned a lot about businesses, helping customers, and what it takes to grow and make a company succeed.
My goal at AAMP is to become an irrefutable force in Tour Operator, Adventure, and Destination Marketing. It was never enough for me to build great websites or create the best social content. I was driven by the people in this industry and have always been fascinated by what drives a customer to make a purchase. I truly wanted to understand the trials and tribulations of running a tour business. This curiosity led to the creation of Vegas Jeep Tours.
My team and I have learned a lot along the way. Most importantly, we’ve realized that while it’s good to keep the bookings flowing in and the phones ringing, these are only parts of the story. AAMP Agency has become much more to me than “just another business.” I have found a world that excites me to wake up every morning and do what I do. I know this is supposed to be my bio and not an elevator pitch, but I drank the Kool-Aid over here. I am genuinely passionate about our agency, and I believe this passion is reflected in my team and our efforts.
Outside work, I have a fantastic wife and family at home. We love time at the lake and going to new, fun restaurants. We love living in Las Vegas and experiencing everything this incredible city has to offer. Like every girl on Instagram, I love to travel and see the world. I attended my first music festival and rave when I was 40, and I became hooked. Now, I spend my free weekends seeing EDM artists around the country.
Linda Denbrock
Advertising | Tour Operations | Booking Platform
Like so many, I have a true love of travel. When I started my career in advertising, I was able to channel that passion into doing marketing for a number of incredible clients in the resort, cruise, airline, destinations, food and beverage and experiences industries. Working with these international businesses provided a strong foundation in the fundamentals of excellent marketing.
On the other side of the table, I also have experience from the operator side, creating food and beverage tours around North America and streamlining operations for an international operator. I have a deep respect for all experience providers because their passion to create lifetime memories for their customers, is contagious.
In addition, I have added a deep understanding of the consumer journey through my experience on the enterprise side of a major customer booking platform. This is a key component of a website's success and we here at AAMP keep ourselves up to date with all of the major platforms to provide you with our best recommendations based on your needs.
I am thrilled to be here at AAMP as one of the latest recruits, to provide consultative marketing services to our clients from website design, digital marketing solutions, event planning and more. I look forward to chatting with you.

Alex Piccone
Director of Account Management
Travel is where I feel at home. I've been doing this for 15 years and wouldn't change it for the world. A long time ago I was a tour guide showing people around Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and Amsterdam. That experience taught me about how important customer experience is at all parts of the journey.
Since then, I've helped run some of the biggest companies in the industry and have had exposure to low-cost tours, to luxury experiences and all at global level. I have created anything from wine tastings to OTA-exclusive products with preferential access to the Eiffel Tower. I like to think that I've done it all on the operator side of the business: distribution, operations, sales, business development, marketing, HR...you name it! This is why I transitioned into hospitality and a specialized tech company for a short time, something that gave me priceless exposure to booking systems and customer reputation software.
I'm trilingual in English, Spanish, and French. I'm beyond excited to be at AAMP, where we will take care of you and make sure we help your business thrive. I look forward to working with you.
