The Professional Moneta International brand was officially launched November 29, 2010, and has enjoyed a growing reputation and client base. In 2012, Professional Moneta was a finalist for a “startup of the year” award by TechVibes. From its base of operations in the Appalachian mountains, PMI leverages its clients' expertise locally, nationally and globally, most recently including Africa and the Middle East. In May 2015, the company moved its business operations to the historic Main Street district of Weaverville, North Carolina, and added its tag line: Content Is Currency. Increase Yours.

"We are delighted to enjoy the hustle and bustle of small town life, when we have the entire world at our fingertips," says McLendon. "It's possible to have the best of all worlds here."

Appearing by special arrangement will be Michael "Mike" Holstein on classical guitar. One of the most sought-after musicians in the Southeast, Holstein plays significant jazz clubs and music venues from New York to the Carolinas.

"We are delighted to offer such an intimate, exceptional performance to our guests," says McLendon.

Known as a singular bassist and memorable performer, Holstein is arguably "one of the most sought after musicians in this region (or anywhere for that matter) for his originality, intensity, and effortless musicality," says one Asheville critic."What some people don't know is that he's also a very good composer with an equally singular voice."
