Our Team
Eve Goldberg
Founder
After Eve's 23-year old son, Isaac died of an accidental drug overdose; she was motivated to help save young lives. One year later, in January 2015, Eve founded Bigvision in New York City with a nationwide mission. Isaac Goldberg Volkmar and his initials, IGV, are placed in the center of the Bigvision name. Eve is committed to helping young adults in recovery learn to live fun, meaningful, sober lives by providing entertaining, engaging events and building a community where the Bigvision “family” can hang out in a cool, substance-free environment. Eve is an owner of William Goldberg Diamond, a wonderful family business operating in New York for over 50 years.
Neil Wallin
Co-Founder
Neil Wallin co-founded Bigvision Community with his wife, Eve Goldberg. In his role as a stepdad, Neil’s loss of Isaac was profound, as they bonded from the moment they met in 2010. Their shared loves included basketball, food and a thirst for trivial and meaningful knowledge. Neil’s business bio covers 40+ years in the restaurant field and in architectural stone where he most recently brought TuffSkin Stone Protection to the East Coast.
Sean Daniels
Executive Director
Sean Daniels is an internationally recognized theater director, writer, and arts leader, and the founder of the Recovery Arts Project, where he advocates for using the arts to address addiction and recovery.
His play The White Chip, a New York Times Critic’s Pick and Drama League Award nominee for Best Revival, has been performed around the world to spark conversation and connection.
He is the former Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Dad’s Garage in Atlanta. His anti-stigma campaign reached nearly 35 million people, with a University of South Florida analysis finding significant impact across nearly every domain of addiction stigma.
Christine Jeberg
Director of Operations
Christine has been with Bigvision since August 2015, where she serves as the Director of Operations. Christine, who is a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach, graduated from Northeastern University in 2007 with a degree in criminal justice and psychology and previously worked in the legal field. Christine grew up with alcoholism in her family and has always been passionate about working with young adults in recovery.
Travis Yablon
Program Coordinator
Travis is the Program Coordinator at Bigvision, where he helps curate engaging events and experiences for the sober community. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, he earned his BFA at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, combining a foundation in music, culture, and entrepreneurship with a passion for community-driven work. Deeply involved in the Brooklyn music scene, Travis has worked with emerging artists, venues, and collectives to support the city’s vibrant creative community. His background in hospitality also informs his approach- prioritizing connection, inclusivity, and creating welcoming spaces for people to come together. At the intersection of music, community, and wellness, Travis brings both artistic sensibility and organizational experience to his role at Bigvision.
Gillian Halper
Community Relations Coordinator

Deeply engaged in Bigvision's mission from the start, Gillian first joined the team as a Summer Associate, supporting programming and outreach efforts focused on substance use prevention.
