New BusinessThrough my role with the MLB Players Alumni Association, I have helped build new business from the ground up, supporting first-year revenue growth and expanding relationships across professional baseball, brands, agencies, and event partners.

As of July 2026

Sports business built on trust, judgment, and follow-through.

Fans see the first pitch, meet-and-greets, photos, autographs, and other VIP experiences. My work begins much earlier: learning what a client needs, identifying the right talent, taking the offer to the player, negotiating terms on behalf of both player and client, and making sure every commitment is carried through.

Early in my career, I have already supported minor-league clubs, private signings, networking dinners, and conversations with major MLB sponsors—building relationships that create value for clients, players, and fans.

Deals that move from idea to experience.

On the ground where baseball comes together.

MLB All-Star Week offered a front-row look at how talent, partners, media, and fans connect at the sport’s biggest events. I supported activations involving Fred McGriff, David Justice, John Smoltz, and more, and gained invaluable experience across live hospitality activations, signings, and audience engagement.

Experience across the Players House, sponsor activations, the red carpet, and live programming.

Across clubs, talent, and partners.

From affiliated baseball to independent clubs, private collectors, and executive communities, every engagement expands a network built through service and trust.
