Meet Sparkminer

Our Story

Richie Brees and Del DeGiuseppe first met after college, united by a shared dream of starting a band, where Del's high-energy punk riffs and Richie's heavy, analytical sound found perfect harmony—a creative synergy that soon carried over into their business careers.

Richie, the analytical mind, built expertise in software development and architecture. Del, the creative force, honed his skills in UI/UX, audio, and video production. Together, they’ve spent nearly 30 years in technology and multimedia across industries like Finance, Publishing, eCommerce, and Supply Chain—always chasing innovative solutions.

Their passion for performance, honed over decades in music and technology, is now focused on a new stage: empowering entertainment venues to master every aspect of their operations. Just as they blended creative energy with technical precision to build a band, they are using that same drive to solve the complex challenges of crowd management and create an unforgettable experience for everyone.

That passion is Sparkminer.
