About Marc Emmelmann

Greetings, I am Marc Emmelmann. As a versatile leader, I’ve been driving growth and creating impact across marketing, nonprofit management, political consulting, cannabis, and the arts, both in San Diego and beyond.Since 2021, I’ve led the bold branding and business development strategies at Brothers Grimm Seeds, helping to grow the brand’s presence while honoring its legacy. My passion for animal welfare and making the world a better place led me to found Vet Mother Earth, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to redefining veterinary care. We’re working to offer sliding scale fees, pro bono services, and paid memberships to ensure pets receive the compassionate care they deserve, regardless of their owners’ financial situation.I\'ve worn many hats, as General Manager and Executive Director of the San Diego Performing Arts League, Co-Chair of the Actors Alliance, and Marketing Manager at Just In Time for Foster Youth, while also helping dozens of small businesses thrive as a Marketing Consultant.In the political realm, I’ve served as a consultant reaching across the aisle to foster unity and collaboration, whether left, right, or center. I was on track for a chief of staff role with a city council candidate, reflecting my leadership skills and dedication to public service.I’m also the founder of Joyride Tunes, a children’s music brand dedicated to creating uplifting and educational songs for young listeners. Joyride Tunes can be found on Spotify and all major music platforms, featuring many songs I’ve personally written with timeless melodies and playful twists that delight both kids and parents.I’m all about servant leadership, work-life balance, and the magic that happens when people come together to create meaningful change. I believe in taking risks and embracing the unconventional, refusing to do things the same old way just for the sake of tradition. I don’t just talk about social impact—I get in the trenches and make it happen, with a bit of humor, a lot of heart, and faith in miracles as well as data. “Trust in the power of your intentions and the magic of the universe. Create your own reality, but also recognize that fate sometimes guides you to places you didn’t expect.\" —Marc Emmelmann
