Our History
LPE Associates stands as a powerful reflection of the vision, discipline, and service-driven leadership of its founder, Ezra Bourne. Established in 2014, the firm was born from Ezra’s extraordinary journey—one forged through the rigors of military service and the values instilled by a life of purpose. As a proud veteran, Ezra brought to LPE the resilience, strategic mindset, and unwavering commitment to excellence that define military leadership. His service not only shaped his character but also laid the foundation for a business ethos rooted in integrity, teamwork, and mission-focused execution. Combined with formal hospitality training and a deep-rooted work ethic, Ezra built LPE Associates into a premier strategic event and operations management firm, delivering scalable, results-oriented support to government, nonprofit, and corporate clients.
