Austin, Texas, United States
I build and scale ticketing and live-event businesses that fans actually love using. Currently I’m the co-founder and CEO of Phunnel (2019–present) – the fastest-growing independent ticketing platform in North America – and CEO of Yadara (2022–present), a next-gen secondary marketplace with full price transparency and AI-driven pricing. Previously: Grew Qcue’s dynamic-pricing revenue 30%+ YoY for 4 straight years (later acquired by SeatGeek) Scaled TickPick’s primary inventory partnerships by $40M+ annually Founded and exited Athlete Management Australia Cut my teeth in London selling corporate hospitality for Wasserman, Live Nation, and Green Room Sports What I’m best at: Turning complex ticket inventory into simple, high-conversion buyer/seller experiences Closing (and keeping) league, team, promoter, and venue partnerships Building remote-first teams that move fast and over-deliver Raising capital and delivering investor returns in the live-events space Currently obsessed with killing “face-value + hidden fees” forever and making the secondary market work for fans instead of against them. If you’re a team, artist, promoter, investor, or just hate paying $150 in fees on a $100 ticket — let’s talk. Open to board roles, advisory seats, and the occasional strong coffee.
