Sharky started Bandago in 2003 with a single van parked in front of his basement apartment. The company now has 600+ vehicles in 10 states across the US. He also coded Bandago's world class rental management platform from scratch, writing every line of code. The platform handles front and back-end reservations, fleet management, accounting, invoicing, vehicle maintenance, HR, and more.

Sharky serves on the American Car Rental Association's Board of Directors. ACRA is the primary trade association for the car rental industry. As a board member he has been an advocate for consumers, and successfully lobbyied congress for a federal ban on renting vehicles with open safety recalls (Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act). In 2018 he led the effort to pass AB 2620, a California state law that helps reduce the number of rental vehicles stolen in California. He has also worked with the SF District Attorney's office to reduce the number of car break-ins in San Francisco. In January 2020 Sharky was appointed as President of the Small Business Commission (SBC) for the City and County of San Francisco. In that role, Sharky continues to give a voice to small business owners and protects their interests by pursuing "business-friendly" policies, spurring the development of assistance programs, and touting the sector's accomplishments.

Previously Sharky was the songwriter and guitarist for the band Creeper Lagoon, a critically acclaimed band in the late 90's (voted Best New Artist in SPIN magazine in 1997) that released several albums on the major label Dreamworks. He is a strong supporter of the arts community, and as Commissioner will be looking for opportunities to help artists maintain viable careers while living in the City.
