the name

For nearly three years, John and I shared a daily ritual. Most mornings started over coffee, and more often than not, the day ended with a glass of wine. Somewhere between those two moments, we covered just about everything—business strategy, growth, family, wins, setbacks, big ideas, and the occasional crazy dream that somehow didn't seem so crazy after the second glass.

At our core, we were driven by the same thing: a relentless belief that we could build something meaningful. Success wasn't guaranteed, but standing still was never an option. Together, we became a focused, determined duo with an unhealthy number of ideas and an unwavering commitment to chasing them.

Best friends, business partners, modern-day hippies, and unapologetic tech nerds, we've spent the better part of two decades navigating the ever-changing world of marketing technology. There were plenty of lessons, a few scars, and more than a handful of frogs kissed along the way—but every challenge helped shape the journey.

That journey led us to build Arcane into one of North America's fastest-growing technology companies, before launching Morphio, an AI-powered platform that gave digital marketers unprecedented visibility into performance and opportunities. Arcane was acquired by Republix in 2020, and Morphio joined the Hawke Media family in 2022.

Today, our entrepreneurial energy is focused on EventConnect. We're on a mission to transform how sports tournaments are managed and experienced by building what we believe is the world's most intuitive tournament management platform.

The technology has changed. The companies have evolved. But the formula remains the same: great conversations, big ideas, relentless curiosity, and a shared passion for building things that matter.
