Richard W. Verdoni
CTO

Richard Verdoni's career in show-business took off under the big-top with young Richard as a clown in his family circus in Mexico, El Circo Atayde Hermanos. Balanced with the formal education he received as a photographer in the US Navy and as a student at the University of Michigan School of Art, Verdoni brings a unique perspective and a critical artistic eye into the entertainment business.

Both enamored with the star power of technology, Verdoni met Joe Bretz in the internet buzz of entrepreneurial Silicon Valley in the 90s. As partners, they set out to reconstruct the landscape of how the entertainment business may utilize and optimize technology. Their blend of business know-how and artistic talent landed them many successful projects, ranging from the design of Wink Markindale's Las Vegas Slot Machine to a Live Smashmouth Concert and content commemorating Gumby's 50th Birthday.

Richard travels between L.A. and lives in Mexico City, he is also the Director of Corporate Social Responsability for The Assciation of Mexican Circus Owners (AMEC Asociasión Mexicana de Empresarios de Circo).
