Partner Relationships

Over more than 20 years, I've worked with hundreds of brands across the NFL, NCAA Division I athletics, minor league sports, and professional sports organizations. Those partnerships have ranged from Fortune 500 companies and national brands to regional businesses looking to reach passionate fan bases.

These logos aren't simply a list of companies. They represent years of building sponsorship strategies, negotiating partnerships, creating activation ideas, managing client relationships, and helping organizations generate meaningful commercial revenue.

Every organization is different, but the fundamentals remain the same: understanding a company's business, identifying where sports could help solve a commercial challenge, and building relationships that last. Some relationships lasted a season. Others lasted for years.

The organizations below are grouped by the teams and properties where I worked with them throughout my career.
