If the mustache's length measures a man’s passion for his craft, he grows, then one look at Jon Henderson’s handle barred masterpiece says it all.  It’s hard to label a man that means so many different things to so many people - but here goes: President and Executive producer for Goodtime Tricycle Productions, entrepreneur, Dad, beer-aficionado, cigar-rights-activist, self-proclaimed speed freak (not the amphetamines kind), and partially nude animal lover, God didn’t just break the mold when he created Jon, he pissed on it and then set it on fire.  Atlantic City has been the last bastion for some truly notorious and unsavory characters like Al Capone, Skinny D’amato, The Eastbound Strangler, and Vladimir Putten. Now we’re not saying Jon is in the same class as these scumbags – we’re saying they cross the road to avoid him.  
For the last 20years, this refugee of normalcy has made AC his home and place of work; initially starting at Resorts Casino, as a casino marketing representative, Jon carved quite the niche out for himself, much in the same way Luke Skywalker carved up that Ton-ton and slept inside its stinking carcass.  From those humble beginnings, he has literally worked in all facets of the gaming/hospitality/event-planning industry. Jon’s illustrious career has even been compared to that of a White House dinner going through Al Roker’s small intestine, there have been several twists and turns, a little indigestion along the way, maybe even a hiccup or two, but in the end, someone is going to have to change their pants.  Most people feel Jon is “Living the American Dream.”  Now self-employed and suit-less, this consummate creator has become an independent entrepreneur, starting his own company - Good Time Tricycle, and setting his sights on developing unique lifestyle events and weekends such as the iconic Atlantic City Beer and Music Festival, The Atlantic City Tattoo Expo (one of the countries longest running tattoo events), Witch-Craft, Knee-high Knuckle Busters Micro Wrestling as well as several other regional projects. 
A dynamic and caring personality, Jon spends his time creating these experiences and consulting on others to drive thousands upon thousands to the Atlantic City region, not only because he believes whole-heartily in exposing the masses to such an underdog beach-front destination.
Jon Henderson and the Goodtime Tricycle team are responsible for moving over 125,000 humans through Atlantic City annually, creating an estimated 18 million dollar in economic impact for the region, hosting lifestyle events to keep Atlantic city a relevant entertainment destination.

Jason Goldfarb, president of Near Dark Entertainment, is a music and entertainment industry professional, venue operations expert, accomplished touring musician, and knowledgeable business owner based in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

 

From a young age, Jason was drawn to the community and ethos of punk music and DIY culture, and he participated greatly in the burgeoning underground music culture of South Jersey and Philadelphia throughout the 1990s. By the early 2000s, Jason had experienced multiple cross-country and regional tours as a guitarist in the band Westgate, and he further developed a passion for live music by becoming a stagehand at the legendary House of Blues in Atlantic City.

 

Jason quickly climbed through the ranks at the House of Blues, becoming a venue manager and the go-to contact for headliner entertainment while still maintaining a hands-on connection to even the most minute details of operating the venue. Day-to-day responsibilities included communicating with the venue’s ownership, casino executives from host location Showboat Atlantic City, and blockbuster talent including Nine Inch Nails, Coheed & Cambria, Eminem, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and more in order to execute one of Atlantic City’s most notable and successful entertainment strategy plans. The broad spectrum of experience that Jason accrued while managing the House of Blues inspired him to further explore his leadership aspirations, and ultimately drove him to develop a plan for Near Dark Entertainment, his most successful venture to date.

 

Jason, has developed Near Dark Entertainment into a full-service entertainment consultancy and talent buying firm working with a diverse array of clients, from Caesars Entertainment casino properties across the United States to the Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival. Utilizing the skills and understanding of venue operations he acquired while managing the House of Blues, Jason specializes in presenting unique entertainment plans tailored to the exact specification and desires of each client. By working to build a reliable audience, always seeking out high-quality entertainment, and ensuring that attention is paid to every detail, Jason ensures that each venue he works with becomes a unique brand that keeps audiences engaged and returning week after week.

Coby Frier is an entrepreneur that has been involved in many ventures. Some have done well, some have failed. One thing that has never happened is he has never lost his focus and his passion. He is knowledgeable on many subjects, cars, cigars and bars and sports. He is oblivious to pop culture and superheroes but will have no problem making fun of anyone who is into that culture. He prides himself on “telling it like it is” but with a big smile on his face. He is a single dad of two teenage boys, notice the “single” part. A little known fact, he once owned strip clubs
and was known as the “mayor of titty city”.
