MATT ROBERTS
Drive & Company
Founder & CEO
​
Matt Roberts is the Founder & CEO of Drive & Company, a sports media company and parent company of D1.ticker, which was created in 2012. He is also Co-Owner of 3-5 other companies that work mainly in the college athletics space. He is a former Co-Owner of Baseball & Softball Youth, where he oversaw the production and development of youth in the sport. Matt spent a couple of years working in college athletics at The University of Evansville and University of South Florida in their Athletic Departments, primary in external affairs.
Matt loves to build! Equally, he is finally learning how to effectively delegate the operations of his portfolio to extremely talented leaders and get the h*ll out of their way! Matt’s team shares a passion for creating value for administrators and coaches in college athletics. They continue to create new ways to bring efficiencies to the marketplace. They are also firm believers in the power of partnerships (1 + 1 = 3) and that owning 100% of zero doesn’t make much sense.
Matt is a father of two kids, 11 & 9 and is married to Kelley Roberts (CEO of TTS). In his recent spare time, Matt has become tennis obsessive. He is a former collegiate baseball student-athlete at UNC Asheville and is always working to make a dollar out of 15 cents!
