Dan Rubendall

Founding Partner

Dan Rubendall brings over 17 years of experience in the ticket industry to Zigabid. With his entrepreneurial spirit, he has built many successful businesses. Over the last few years, he has seen a lot of change in the industry and felt that many of the buyers and sellers concerns were not being properly addressed. With Dan's background in economics and his love for entertainment, he came to the conclusion that tickets should be treated as a commodity, where their true value is based solely on supply and demand and thus Zigabid was born.

Dan graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in Economics. He currently resides in La Canada, CA with his wife and children where he is an active member of the community.

Brian Jeremy Kupetz

Director of Development

Brian is the Director of Development and one of the founding partners of Zigabid. He is responsible for the company's strategic direction and managing Zigabid's engineering team.

Prior to his current role, he co-founded Go Farm in Pasadena, CA: an interactive marketing and advertising company, which developed internationally acclaimed websites and applications. He has a broad range of experience joining technology and marketing and has worked for a variety of notable brands including West Coast Choppers, Coca-Cola Company, Samuel Adams, Kawasaki Motors Corp, Lufthansa Airlines, Boost Mobile, LG Mobile, and MasterCard. Before working at Go Farm, Brian worked as the Senior Web Developer and Production Manager for Juxt Interactive, an advertising agency based in Newport Beach, CA.

Brian's draw to the ticket industry is perhaps rooted in his five-year stint managing a regionally-acclaimed Indie rock band from 2001 to 2006. The skills he acquired managing tours, concert logistics, record promotions, and radio airplay transcend his already impressive ability to architect content management systems and high performance web applications and services.

Brian graduated from University of Arizona's Eller School of Business with a degree in Management Information Systems.
