    About CALCAR

    Built by people who understand the arena—and the infrastructure it has been missing.

    CALCAR is led from inside the sport. Decades of live rodeo production, sponsorship and competition shape every decision we make about how an event's official record is kept.

    Trevor Hedeman

    Founder & CEO, CALCAR

    Trevor Hedeman founded CALCAR to build the operating system western sports has never had: one official record connecting entries, verified draws, live scoring, results and public verification.

    He grew up inside the sport, learning live event production alongside his father, Tuff Hedeman, a founding member and 13-year President of the Professional Bull Riders. He began competing at four years old, went on to compete for Texas A&M University, and spent three years competing professionally.

    Across the past decade he has worked in sponsorship sales, brand partnerships, agency representation and event production — negotiating deals, tightening operations and running the logistics behind live rodeo events.

    Outside the arena, Trevor has built and backed companies as a venture capital investor and operator. He was the CEO and founder of 410 Whiskey, which was acquired in 2025.

    That combination — arena floor, production truck, commercial table and venture-backed company building — is what CALCAR is built on. The problem was never the sport. It was the infrastructure underneath it.
