Meet the Team
What distinguishes us from the competition? Our people. We have the best team in the world. And we’ve been all over the world.
Our staff and tour guides come from all walks of life and are what makes Bucket List Events so much fun! We provide the warmth and personality you’re looking for in a travel experience provider. But you don’t need to take our word for it: Read what our clients have to say.
Brian Peters
Managing Director
School: University of Texas
Favorite Event: Masters
Direct Line: 512-377-1668
E-Mail: Brian@bucketlistevents.com
Brian is the Managing Director of Bucket List Events, overseeing all sales, operations, and partnerships. He has been with Bucket List Events since 2013 and has introduced innovative event concepts since then. Brian wouldn’t miss the Masters for anything.
Toby Atkins
Managing Director
School: Southern Methodist University
Favorite Event: The Running of the Bulls
Direct Line: 512-377-1694
E-Mail: Toby@bucketlistevents.com
Toby oversees our annual international events, including the Running of the Bulls and Oktoberfest. An encyclopedia of completely useless information, Toby has found a profession where he can actually apply such knowledge. Raised in the Southeast, educated in the Northeast, and now residing in the Southwest, this well traveled Tennessean probably knows your high school mascot.
Rich Beard
Director of Operations
School: Texas Tech University
Favorite Event: The Olympics
E-Mail: Rich@bucketlistevents.com
Rich has been providing travel experiences to large international sporting events and festivals since 2004. You’re more likely to find Rich working as he travels around the world than you are at his home in Texas. If he is not at one of our events, he is probably researching a new experience, discovering a new place or traveling somewhere fun. He never passes up the opportunity to experience new things and he loves making it possible for others to check items off their bucket lists!
