When was your first SEAT Event?
SEAT Miami 2014
How would you describe SEAT?
"In lieu of our industry, I had viewed my peers as "the rivals". SEAT proved to me that we are a team working together to make athletics better as a whole."
If you woke up and had 2,000 unread emails and could only answer 300 of the, how would you choose which ones to answer?
First I would have a small panic attack (Type A), then I'd start at the bottom and work my way up. I would not be able to stop at 300.
What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
Where's the closest coffee shop, and how long will it take me to get there?
If you could have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin with parmesan-crusted asparagus
... Favorite quote or words you live by:
"Never miss the opportunities to be silent"
"Under-promise - Overproduce"
"If you can dream it, you can do it" - Walt Disney
What is one element you would like to see change in the sports industry?
Capping coaching contracts so that smaller universities can compete.
How would you convince someone to do something they didn't want to do?
Peer pressure
What career advice do you have for people wanting to work in the sports industry?
I love the fast-paced nature of sports. Our AD always asks for new ways to bring shock and awe to the fans. It's up to my team to bring that great experience to life and keep fans in the seats.
Have you ever been pulled over by a cop? What is your funniest story and what happened?
've only been stopped for speeding. The only time I've gotten out of a ticket was when the cop liked my new car. I told him I had to try out its power. He agreed and let me off with a warning.
