ABOUT DEREK HOUGH
Emmy Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Derek Hough, the only six-time champion in franchise history of the hit ABC show Dancing with the Stars, started dancing in his hometown of Salt Lake City, UT, at age 11. Just one year later, he moved to London to live and train with the top dance coaches in the world and attend the prestigious Italia Conti performing arts school where he studied theatre, music and dance.
A multi-talented entertainer, two-time Emmy Award-winner and none-time nominee for “Best Choreography,” Hough has also appeared in film, television and stage projects as an actor. He made his feature film debut for director Duane Adler and producer Robert Cort in the feature film Make Your Move and has a recurring role on the ABC series Nashville.

In December of 2016, Hough starred with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande, Martin Short and Harvey Fierstein in NBC’s Hairspray Live!
In May of 2017, Hough joined Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo at the judges table for the NBC series World of Dance.

Hough can also add best-selling author to his list of credits. His memoir Taking the Lead; Lessons from a Life in Motion hit stands in August of 2014 and rapidly was named to the prestigious New York Times Best-Seller list during two non-consecutive time periods. In 2014 Hough and his sister Julianne teamed for a live stage dance concert MOVE Live on Tour performing in 50 cities around the country, then in 2015 they toured again selling out scores of venues on their 47-city outing.

With celebrity partners on Dancing with the Stars that have included Brooke Burke, Jennie Garth, Ricki Lake, Maria Menounos Nicole Scherzinger, Jennifer Grey, Kellie Pickler, Amber Riley, Amy Purdy and Bindi Irwin, Hough is best known for his innovation and daring choreography on the show.

Innovative online show that pulled back the curtain giving viewers a glimpse behind the scenes at the hospitality and entertainment industry, wins national awards
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 6, 2018) – Launched in September of 2017 at the Tribeca Film Festival, and now reaching over half-a-million views, the original online series, Back of House, has been honored with two Telly Awards, for outstanding Branded Content and Cinematography.
Since 1979, Telly Awards have recognized the best work in TV and Video and have honored BackofHouse.TV with the following:
“We set out to showcase how we create good times for every guest on every visit. Back of House is informative and entertaining in part because our employees have inspiring personalities that are equally as impressive as our resort amenities. To be
recognized by the Telly Awards is something we can all be proud of on many levels,” said George Galinsky, Senior Vice President of Marketing Communications, Mohegan Sun.
Award-winning Production studio, Primal-NY, co-created Back of House with Mohegan Sun and the award-winning TV consulting firm, Fact & Fiction, was used to execute their vision for the show. The series follows a group of fun employees at one of the largest casino resort destinations in the world and welcomes viewers in to witness how everything gets done when 20,000 visitors are arriving every day. The original trailer for the the series currently has over 675,000 views and the show itself has eclipsed 500,000 views on Mohegan Sun’s YouTube and Facebook pages. The series generated a 54% increase in total subscribers to Mohegan Sun’s YouTube channel, where viewers have watched nearly 7,000 hours of series-related content, 80% of which were on mobile devices.
Season one took viewers along for a ride as employee cast members pulled everything together for Dj Khaled’s impromptu appearance in Avalon Night Club, Kenny Chesney’s induction into the Walk of Fame, and The Bachelorette’s Rachel Lindsay’s special appearance in the Shops at Mohegan Sun. Because the show runs in all hotel rooms at Mohegan Sun, the employee cast & crew are now being recognized across the resort.
These moments have resonated with viewers, who don’t often get to see the back offices, prep kitchens and rehearsal stages at a destination of this size and scope. Among the thousands of comments generated online about the show:
“It’s great when you enjoy your work, keep it up,” – Mixx P. on Facebook
“I was there that day!” – David S. on Facebook
“Ah, man, I’d love that job!” –Nicole H. on Facebook
“In a media environment where an infinite amount of content is always at our fingertips, it’s important for brands to find new and creative ways to engage with their guests. Creating the Back of House original series started a new dialogue with both our frequent loyal guests, as well as many who may not have previously been familiar with Mohegan Sun,” said Michelle Williams, Director of Social Media at Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment.
Season two of Back Of House will feature new faces and is set to premier this August when the first two episodes go live on www.backofhouse.TV. In September, six more episodes will be added.

For the last decade, goldRush Rally has welcomed distinguished guests, VIP celebrities and automotive influencers to the #1 luxury rally in the country. Participants drive through high-profile cities and scenic back roads with unforgettable moments witnessed by dedicated fans and paparazzi alike. Some of those moments have included shutting down famous landmarks along the way, including the Golden Gate Bridge and Las Vegas Boulevard. This momentous occasion will be nothing less than exceptional with a groundbreaking lineup of cars, people and places.
“We are excited to collaborate with our sponsor Barrett-Jackson on our 10-year anniversary adventure,” said Ramin Arami, Founder/Managing Partner of goldRush Rally. “To be the best you need to surround yourself with only the best, and we couldn’t have picked a better partner.”
The event kicks off in Boston on June 22nd and will stop in 10 cities over 10 days – including Pittsburgh, Dallas and Barrett-Jackson’s hometown, Scottsdale – before finishing the rally in Las Vegas on July 1st. During the stop in Connecticut on June 23rd – on its way to New York – the cars will be staged in the parking lot at Arooga’s Grille House & Sports Bar for fans to see while rally participants visit the auction inside Mohegan Sun.
In addition, goldRush Rally will show support for the Driven Hearts campaign, Barrett-Jackson’s yearlong charity initiative supporting the American Heart Association. Participants will be using #DrivenHearts during their event and many of the cars will feature a #DrivenHearts decal. Fans will also be able to engage with the rally on social media platforms, including the Facebook pages Barrett-Jackson and goldRush.
