Patrick Dial
Patrick has a Bachelor of Arts in radio, television, and film and a minor in business administration from Texas Christian University. He’s an experienced pilot, avid skier, hiker, and cyclist. Dial lives in Aspen, Colorado, and is the founder of AspenJet.
Patrick was an early pioneer in creating interactive experiences for musicians, audiences, and brands alike, where he focused on combining live entertainment with the emerging online world. In 1989 he formed Estrellia Entertainment Group, specializing for nearly 30 years in large-scale concert tour planning and event management for entertainer Garth Brooks among other bands and brands in music. He also created the Phoenix 500 Air Races, a major aviation-oriented motorsports event that partnered with the legendary Reno Air Races. It was ultimately combined with Clear Channel Motor Sports, which is now LIVE Nation. Later, Dial formed Rock Island LIVE Interactive Networks, which combined his live entertainment properties, interactive experiences, product development, promotion, and sales capabilities all into one practice.
