Kristan has sold content services to numerous mobile operators globally, on every continent except Antarctica. A native Texan, Kristan has lived in the UK, Japan, South Korea, China and Singapore for the past fourteen years, during which time he has been trying to decide whether the ultimate retirement plan should involve running a whisky distillery or a sake brewery. He has an MBA from the University of Western Ontario, and once held the high score on the Sega Rally arcade game at Gatwick airport for over five weeks. He is married to a gorgeous and feisty Scottish lass and has two daughters.
