On March 3, 2020, the Pro Football Hall of Fame (the “Hall”) offered me employment in the position of Sponsorship Account Manager. The anticipated start of employment date was March 23, 2020. My family packed our bags, sold our house, and started looking for our new home near the Hall. As the pandemic took hold and the State of Ohio went on lock-down, the Hall adopted a hiring freeze thus delaying my start date. After several months of the Hall being closed, the eventual cancellation of the much celebrated Hall of Fame Game and Class Induction, the financial woes resulted in the Hall not being able to hire my position altogether. While this is unfortunate and has been difficult for my family, this was a great opportunity to regroup and continue growing as a sales executive.
