Tyler Fredricksen

I relocated to The Woodlands, Texas with my family in 1992 where I spent my formative years engaged in sports and later graduated from The Woodlands High School in 2004. In 2008 I graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management and minor in Business Administration. Post graduation, I returned home and promptly joined on full time with Spectrum Catering, Concessions, and Events where I have proudly contributed to the company’s growth ever since. Now with a growing family the possibility of beginning a new career at home in a place I have loved for the last 31 years of my life sounds amazing. In the early years our small Spectrum Music Team managed food and beverage service for a handful of music festivals across the country. Fast forward to 2023, we successfully ran food and beverage operations for 35 different festivals and events nationwide. My main role included managing and overseeing eight of our larger events annually. For those events, total gross beverage sales reached $16,874,098.00 and gross food sales amounted to $8,572,000.00. The highlight of the year was the Ocean’s Calling Music Festival which achieved a net gain exceeding one million dollars for the three-day festival. The events mentioned operated with labor costs from 5%-8% and product costs from 11% to 17%. Over the years I have gained numerous skills in this industry which include but are not limited to: created equipment lists for warehouse to dispatch to events, collaborated with promoters on contract points and devised overall festival strategies for food and beverage operations, worked with festival sponsorships to integrate sponsored beverages and specialty drinks into bar menus, developed bar menus with pricing, organized and managed our core staff of up to fifty individuals per festival and bar staff of up to three hundred per festival, executed the day to day operations at the festival from build to show to strike, facilitated ordering, delivery, and returns of all beverage products from local distributors, oversaw the management of third party food vendors.
