Entrepreneur / Innovator / Philanthropist / Visionary
Not one to be typecast, Torrey applies the same relentless, rule-breaking game plan to a variety of daredevil projects—going “all-in” on environmental, tech, medical and charitable experiments, to name a few. From inventing a shower device that saves water (EvaDrop), to lowering the impact of mosquito-borne disease by bringing a nontoxic repellent to market (KitePatch), to starting an annual weekend event where 100+ creatives collaborate to design a marketing plan for a nonprofit in need (Forge54), Torrey’s extracurricular activities all share a singular theme: the potential to change the world.
In his free time, Torrey enjoys playing water polo, traveling to remote places and helping aspiring entrepreneurs turn wild ideas into winners as a consultant, speaker and mentor.
This scrappy creative fireball started his serial entrepreneurship story as a student at Orange County High School, long before YouTuber tweens were pulling in six figures. Somewhere between prepping for the SATs and plotting to sneak out of chem lab, fearless Torrey got his first enterprise up and running—a production company that made commercials to help local real estate agents get more business.
He went to film school and learned all the rules of cinematography just so he could break ‘em and develop his own style. He took all the right risks in his business, and clients loved the smart-and-saucy creative his similarly driven and daring team became known for. Eventually, Torrey’s humble high school startup blew up and morphed into the award-winning strategic brand video agency now known as Sparkhouse. Today he leads a team of creatives in delivering high-concept, breakout videos that accomplish big goals for clients around the globe.
