Steve Tolman has lived several lives in the entertainment business. A singer since childhood, Tolman's hobby became a career
Long active in attempting to improve the industry and its representatives, Tolman is the immediate past president of The International Entertainment Buyers Association, and sits on the Board of Directors of the Nashville Association of Talent Directors.

Discovering at a young age his love for the business of music, Steve Robinson began producing concerts and promoting bands as a junior in high school. This continued as a hobby well after graduation. At the age of 21, he joined country music newcomer, Randy Travis, for his first cross-country tour.
After coming off the road and spending two years in sales, the Richmond, Virginia native moved to Tennessee where he graduated with honors from East Tennessee State University, having double-majored in Public Relations and Speech. While in college, Robinson served as General Manager for the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Club affiliate in the Appalachian League, thereby becoming the youngest General Manager in Minor League baseball at the time.
In 1994, Robinson followed his interests to Nashville, where, combining his lifelong love of music and politics, he served as a speechwriter for congressional candidate (current US Senator Marsha Blackburn), and later worked in Don Sundquist's successful campaign for Governor as a liaison to the music industry. This led to the opportunity to Vice-Chair The George and Barbara Bush 50th Anniversary Celebration, where he was involved in every aspect of pre-event logistical planning including production, scripting, security, travel, entertainment, and promotion. The show, "With Love, From Nashville," was taped to air as part of a special on The Nashville Network.
In 1995, when former Tennessee Governor (now US Senator) Lamar Alexander assembled the team for his Presidential campaign, Robinson was hired as Deputy Director for Advance, serving in that capacity for the next year. Since becoming a consultant in 1996 and founding Logi Com, Robinson has worked with nine primary and general presidential campaigns, many Republican Governors, Senators, Congressmen, and for the 41st, 43rd and 45th US Presidents.
His specialties include the logistical planning and execution of major events, whether national bus tours, corporate gatherings, political events debates or campaigns, or concerts featuring music headliners ranging from Bono to The Beach Boys.
Robinson managed the Republican National Finance Committee's activities at the Republican National Convention in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 and at the Presidential Inaugural in 2001, 2005 and 2017. Clients for whom he has consulted are varied and include AFLAC, Beretta, PhRMA (America's pharmaceutical manufacturers), the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Foundation, the NBA's Miami HEAT, the NHL's Nashville Predators, NASCAR's Cracker Barrel 500, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research.
Robinson has produced hundreds of events in all 50 states and 13 countries in famed venues as varied as The White House and US Capitol, The Grand Ole Opry, Lincoln Center, Constitution Hall Rockefeller Plaza and the Atlanta Motor Speedway. In 2019, Robinson co-founded The Million Dollar Music Fest in Jackson Hole, WY (See full roster of events Logi Com has produced including photos and read more...)
