Who Is John Rizzi?

Over the last couple of months the Tickets.com executive team have been regular contributors to the ProVenue® blog. Some of you are already familiar with the leadership team here, but alas - some of you are not. Over the next couple of weeks let us share with you some unknown facts about this dynamic group.

Today we take a closer look at John Rizzi, SVP Product Management & Strategy. John started his tenure at Tickets.com almost 3 years ago and has quickly made a name for himself in the industry.

John Rizzi: Things You Won't Get From My Resume or Bio:

What you can see on my resume is that I've been in Technology for more than 20 years, what you won't see on there is that my favorite Tech saying is "yak shaving": sadly something I'm sure most can relate to.

If you read my bio, you'll see I'm married with two young boys - what's not there is that my wife and I got married in Vegas… by Elvis. While I AM a fan of the king, I love my wife even more for allowing us to have such an…. errrr…. affordable wedding.

My bio mentions that I went to Cal Poly Pomona (in the 80's) but what it doesn't say is I was the "R" in S&R Sounds DJ's. Those of you old enough might remember that the song that got everyone on the dance floor at frat parties, keggers, and school dances was the Romantics "What I Like About You"…. Uh huh huh…. HEY!!
