Bucket was built with operators, not for a demo. Every part of it started as a real headache on a real club floor.
Bubba is a Co-Founder, Board Manager, and Executive Sponsor of Bucket, bringing decades of leadership experience across hospitality, resorts, real estate, and operating businesses.
He helps keep Bucket grounded in a simple idea: technology should make running a club easier, not more complicated. Bubba focuses on long-term strategy, industry relationships, customer development, and making sure the team stays close to the operators we’re building for.
A graduate of Furman University with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Bubba also earned his MBA from the University of South Carolina. His background combines operating experience, financial discipline, and a deep understanding of hospitality.
He’s serious about building great businesses, passionate about the industry, and always interested in a good conversation about how things could work better.
Ozzy is a Co-Founder and Board Manager of Bucket, where he leads product and company strategy across technology, payments, data, and commercialization.
He spends most of his time thinking about complicated operational problems and how to make them significantly less complicated. At Bucket, Ozzy works across product, engineering, payments, customers, and go-to-market to help turn real club workflows into a unified operating platform.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Fordham University and later completed an Executive MBA at Fordham’s Gabelli School of Business. His background spans entrepreneurship, payments, fintech, enterprise technology, and product strategy.

Howie is a Co-Founder, Board Manager, and CFO of Bucket, bringing financial discipline, accounting expertise, and a healthy appreciation for numbers that actually reconcile.
He helps shape Bucket’s financial strategy while also guiding how the platform handles transactions, reporting, reconciliation, and the financial workflows that matter to clubs and resorts.
Howie is a Certified Public Accountant. His finance and accounting background gives Bucket a strong foundation as we build a platform where operations, payments, and financial reporting all need to work together.
His job is to make sure the economics make sense and the numbers tell the truth.
Brad is a Co-Founder and VP of Operations at Bucket, helping bridge the gap between hospitality operations and product development.
He brings an operator’s perspective to everything we build, asking the questions that matter once software leaves the conference room and meets a busy club or resort on a Saturday morning.
Brad attended Georgia Southern University and has built his career around resort and hospitality operations. That experience shapes his work across product strategy, workflow design, testing, implementation readiness, and product development.
If something looks great in a demo but makes an operator’s day harder, Brad is probably sending it back.
Cope is a Co-Founder and VP of Business Development at Bucket, focused on sales, industry relationships, and keeping the company close to the people who run clubs every day.
He spends a lot of time listening to operators, building relationships, opening doors, and helping the team understand what the market really needs.
A Clemson University alumnus, Cope brings a relationship-first approach to business development and a strong connection to the golf and club community.
He believes the club industry is built on trust and long-term relationships — and that good business usually starts with a good conversation.
He also firmly believes seven different systems doing seven different things is probably six too many.
Chuck is a Co-Founder and VP of Business Development at Bucket, focused on sales, partnerships, and growing the company’s presence across the club and resort industry.
He enjoys getting inside the operation, understanding where the friction is, and figuring out whether Bucket can actually help.
Chuck attended Furman University, where he competed as an NCAA Division I scholarship baseball player. That competitive background carries into his approach to business: prepare well, understand the situation, build trust, and execute.
Chuck believes the best sales conversations start with listening, not pitching.
And he is generally in favor of shorter presentations and better conversations.
Matt is Bucket’s Lead Engineer and Solutions Architect, responsible for turning complex club workflows into technology that is reliable, scalable, and actually works in production.
He sits at the intersection of engineering, architecture, product, and implementation, helping ensure every new capability strengthens the platform rather than becoming another disconnected feature.
Matt brings deep software engineering and systems architecture experience to Bucket, with a focus on designing dependable technology for complex operating environments.
Matt likes clean architecture, reliable systems, and solving hard problems before they become expensive problems.
His philosophy is pretty simple: clubs are complicated enough already. The software shouldn’t make them more complicated.
Derek is a Software Engineer at Bucket, helping build the core platform behind the daily operations of private clubs, golf resorts, and hospitality destinations.
He works across the stack, turning product requirements and real-world operational workflows into reliable software that operators can depend on.
Derek enjoys solving hard technical problems, improving systems, and making complicated processes feel simpler.
Bonus points when the solution also eliminates a spreadsheet.
Farhan is a Forward-Deployed Product Engineer at Bucket, working where product, payments, implementation, and real-world club operations meet.
He works directly with customers to understand workflows, configure and deploy the platform, troubleshoot issues, and bring what we learn in the field back into the product.
His role combines product thinking, technical execution, payments, and implementation — helping make sure Bucket works just as well in a live club environment as it does during a product demo.
Farhan’s goal is simple: make sure the platform works when the tee sheet is full, the restaurant is busy, and transactions are moving.
Jan is Bucket’s Lead UI/UX Designer, responsible for making complex club operations feel simple, intuitive, and consistent.
He works across product and engineering to translate real-world workflows into experiences that staff can understand quickly and use confidently.
Jan brings a background spanning product design, digital experiences, and entrepreneurship, giving him a strong appreciation for both how products look and how they actually work.
Jan believes good design starts with understanding the workflow — not decorating the screen.
And if something takes six clicks when it should take two, he’ll probably have something to say about it.
Jack is Bucket’s Product Lead, helping turn customer problems, operator feedback, and company strategy into clear product priorities.
He works across customers, engineering, design, implementation, and go-to-market to make sure Bucket is building the right capabilities in the right order.
Jack studied at Rollins College. His broader background spans product management, technology, digital platforms, and entrepreneurship, giving him a strong perspective on how complex ideas become usable products.
Jack likes turning messy problems into clear plans, keeping teams focused, and making sure customer discovery happens before assumptions become features.
There is always a next thing. His job is figuring out which next thing actually matters.
Erica leads Marketing and Go-to-Market efforts for Bucket, helping tell the story of what we’re building and why it matters to clubs and resorts.
She works across brand, content, campaigns, customer engagement, and sales enablement to make complex product ideas understandable, relevant, and human.
Erica brings more than a decade of digital marketing experience in the resort and hospitality industry, including extensive experience marketing Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort.
She believes great products deserve great stories — and that B2B software marketing doesn’t have to sound like B2B software marketing.
At Bucket, Erica helps make sure our personality shows up right alongside our product.
Green Valley ran the tee sheet, POS, dining, memberships, and payments on separate systems that never agreed. Statements were reconciled by hand and month-end took weeks.
We rolled Bucket out department by department across a single season, golf first, then F&B, retail, and memberships. Every charge now posts to one ledger, and the member portal reflects it live.
We’d love to hear how your operations run today.
