I build sports partnerships and experiential campaigns that drive revenue, fan engagement, and community impact.
What I'm looking for
I build sports partnerships, experiential campaigns, and community programs that turn brand goals into visible cultural moments. Across 15+ years, I've driven B2B revenue, managed corporate partnerships, and delivered fan-focused experiences.
At DICK'S Sporting Goods, I led grassroots marketing, sponsorships, and events across 22 stores, negotiating partnerships with Minor League Baseball teams and local youth leagues. I piloted initiatives that delivered an 11%–13% annual revenue lift and opened 12 new stores with grand-opening activations, player appearances, and local partnerships.
At STAR Minneapolis, I sold experiential, trade show, and corporate-interior services while maintaining a new-business pipeline toward a $1.5M annual sales goal. I also bring cruise marketing, retail operations, event logistics, and nonprofit board leadership, including sponsorship outreach for a 300-guest Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
