About Us
The seeds were planted more than twenty years ago on a luxurious relaxing beach island retreat in South Florida. At the time, Gay O’Brien and Leisa Chester Weir were both were well into their careers as television executives with one of the world’s largest entertainment companies. Their individual and collective success in developing local and national programming, social responsibility initiatives and cause marketing campaigns, which generated more than
$10 million in revenue; plus, scores of awards for excellence in marketing, public relations and television (10 TV Emmy Awards between them), fueled the fire to hang their own shingle. The LGK story is a nod to focus, strength, the power and potential of beach dreams everywhere.
