About Me
Born December 31, 1977 in Edinburgh (The Valley), Texas to Ralph and Virginia Bulkley
Growing up I lived in Georgetown-Texas, Devine-Texas, New Braunfels-Texas, Ingram/Kerrville - Texas, and Kouvola, Finland
After High School Graduation, I moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas Business School.
I have one sister, Courtney Bulkley, whom is 11 months and 19 days younger than me. She graduated with a RTF degree from the University of Texas in Austin, and now lives in LA with her boyfriend, Christopher, attending UCLA to become a Nurse.
I also have a great Border Collie, Luka, which lives with me...she's still a puppy and quite the handful.
In 1999, I took a job with TicketCity.com as a part time sales agent...my
next position with the company was Director of Web Sales where I learned HTML, Graphics, and all of that other cool computer shit. One
of my specialties became SEO (search engine optimization) and it's lead me to build and optimize other websites including
TylersAustin.com, and my new company, Great Atlantic Travel and Tour.
With the expanded marketing that the internet offered TicketCity.com, I was able to offer Major International Event tickets to events such as the FIFA World Cup,
Rugby World Cup, and more and that enabled me to travel and work overseas through the years. I've
transplanted and lived for short periods of time in cities such as Tokyo, Sydney, Lisbon, and Frankfurt while working at Ticketcity.com for over 9 years.
In November of 2007, I resigned at Ticket City, to become Managing Director of Great Atlantic Travel and Tour in Virginia Beach, VA. I moved out to VA Beach with my girlfriend, Joanie Duggan, and now live only about 2 blocks from my new office, and (8) blocks from the beach.
I've been focusing on building the company to become a major player in a select number of Domestic and International events such as the Olympics in Beijing, French Open, Kentucky Derby, the Masters, and more.
I enjoy hanging out with my good friends in Texas...that is important to me. When I'm not spending time with friends, I enjoy running or mountain biking, road trips, Floating the River in Gruene or New Braunfels, camping, fishing, Hunting, travelling, and spending time with my family and their foster kids at their house on the lake.
My plans are to someday return to Texas to purchase a large (2000+ acre) ranch in the Hill Country, and develop a Wild Game Hospitality Ranch. The plan is to host Corporate Conferences in a unique Texas outdoor setting to include a large conference center, accommodations, hunting of course, fishing, trips to Mexico, and more.
