A Texas-born, Atlanta-raised talent buyer, creative director, and event producer, Andrew brings over 10 years of industry experience to every room he works. He and Ford grew up in the Atlanta area and started going to shows together in 2016 — throwing their own events by 2017. Before founding Colt Classic Presents, he spent years at True Grit — before their acquisition by WME — building deep artist relationships and honing his craft on both coasts. Rather than follow the corporate path, Andrew bet on himself: what started with shows in his backyard grew into a full-service agency booking 3,000-cap rooms in just a few years. A lifelong Grateful Dead devotee and self-described ticketing bot fighter, he brings big-market expertise and relentless hustle to every venue he partners with.

A fellow Atlanta-area native, Ford started going to shows with Andrew in 2016 and was throwing events alongside him by 2017 — long before it became a career. He went on to study in the University of Georgia's Music Business program, focusing on live production and management, giving him a foundation few in the industry can match. Before joining Colt Classic Presents, he spent time at Morgan Stanley in Private Wealth Management as a licensed broker, developing a financial acumen that informs every deal, budget, and settlement he touches. Ford oversees day-to-day operations, talent buying, and ensures every show runs like a well-oiled machine from offer to settlement.
