Meet The Team
Jeff Hoffard
Co-Founder & Chief Project Manager
Jeff is one of the powerhouse pair whose vision for tickets.org.au brought it into existence. In his work with not-for-profits he could see how much running events was costing them and knew there was a better way – so, he created it!
Most of his work background is in project coordination and management roles for corporate companies. In 2014, he returned to community and Church-based organisations with a vision for using his skills to support the meaningful, grassroots work of these organisations.
He specialises in troubleshooting problems, from complex IT networking issues to the best smart phone to buy. He is proactive, strategic and tailor’s advice to the specific needs of the client he’s working with.
Jeff also loves long distance running and hiking the outdoors, as well as all things IT and technology related. He is married to Jacinta and loves being a Dad.
Jeff’s favourite events involve as many people as possible, preferably running or gaming.

He’d like to thank his wonderful wife Bek for all her help with tickets.org.au. It wouldn’t be here without her!

Damien’s favourite events involve great music and good scotch.
