David Cooper and his Foxman Group LLC has been providing innovative technology solutions to businesses for the past thirty years. With a strong backgrounds in both computer sciences and accounting, he has been described as an accountant with a computer addiction however his balance is only using technology when it makes CENTS.

His core focus is on the live entertainment field and he has developed software for touring music acts, artist managers, concert promoters, talent agents, and venues; then ticketing, record companies, radio promotions and publishers. Their programs integrated vital functions together such as accounting, scheduling, merchandising and ticket sales. He has developed innovative software solutions for a number of industries - from individual practices through to major corporations like LiveNation(SFX), Ticketmaster, ideaLAB and International Speedway Corporation (NASCAR).

He has built technical solutions that are BIG and FAST but he always wants to harvest the value. The biggest value is FAN INFORMATION. it helps create demand by offering these fans similar products and services.

The BIGGEST - in 2001 the largest live event of the year was the Daytona 500 and it was the launch of the ticketing solution created for International Speedway Corp (NASCAR).

The FASTEST - in 1995 Pearl Jam set a world's fastest sellout record for their show in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. 48,000 tickets sold in 21 minutes, 2 tickets per call via 2000 inbound IVR operators.

Both of these events were oppurtunities to collect FAN info along with these transactions and used to create demand through offers to these identified FANS worth more than the simple transaction fee.

The book is a blue print for becoming successful in the changing music (video, or movie) business. This is the "game plan" for the artist side of the DIRECTtoFAN and is a differential which would take others 30 years to catch up to. (check out the illustrations of the "clans" for a laugh, the royalty group I mean record companies are depicted by dinosaurs, and the touring folks are dogs, and the artists are FOXES.)
