We all have a calling in life and I believe starting SEAT was mine... to fulfill an industry gap of technology learning & collaboration, but more importantly to be a connector of people and friends, which we now call the SEAT Community.

Beginning at last year's USA conference, SEAT 2016 Las Vegas, I began embedding into the conference, leadership and executive coaching sessions and workshops. Moving forward, these will continue to be weaved into the overall fabric of every SEAT event.

I am passionate about keeping these as a center focus for leaders whom attend SEAT as I forsee that your roles are dynamically changing and will continue to change as technology evolves and as the fans/customers evolve with their use of technology.

These factors will force the sports & entertainment industry to add new roles, change their organization structures and evolve with leaders taking on new responsibities mapping to new career journeys throughout your exciting careers!

I hope you will join us on this journey together, embrace the impending change in your career and know that your friends in the SEAT Community are here for you, to guide you and to help you along in our life adventures together.

Leadership, executive coaching and moving my industry friend's careers forward is one of the most single important elements of my life.

Over the last 10 years, I have helped many of you in the industy transition into new careers, with new organizations and encourage you to take risks that have brought you personal and professional rewards. I continue to do this without fees and no commissions because I do this out of love for you all and my desire to see my SEAT friends successful in life!
