Fortunate to be a part of a well-respected organization, deeply rooted in family values, that also happens to have one of the largest fanbases in the country. I work with companies on a regional, national, and global scale to leverage the connection we have to Steelers Nation to help enrich their fandom while also driving value for our partners.

Fueled by a new ownership group, the Stars have seen a significant upswing in both their on-ice performance and corporate branding. I worked with many types of companies to learn about their marketing strategy and how we can use the Stars to help with their objectives. Some partners I proudly worked with included McDonald's, Honda, Lockheed Martin, Travelocity, Sport Clips, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and Pure Hockey.

I worked with many regional and national companies to use the popularity of the NBA and many of the premier music and entertainment acts in the world to amplify their goals. Palace Sports & Entertainment has a unique offering because of all of their assets: Detroit Pistons, The Palace of Auburn Hills, DTE Energy Music Theatre and Meadow Brook Music Festival. I was able to connect brands to the 2 million fans who came to our venues each year.Whether it was connecting with a local school to teach kids the importance of healthy eating, creating unique and viral online content, or driving traffic to increase sales, the PS&E team and I were able to do some cutting edge stuff.Some of the partners I worked with included Applebee's, MillerCoors, State Farm, Republic Services, adidas, Belle Tire and DTE Energy.

When Mandalay Baseball purchased the Oklahoma City RedHawks, I was selected to be a part of the management team to position us differently in the community.By creating a new approach with a heavy emphasis on delivering an ROI across many lines of a partners'​ business, we were able to triple sponsorship revenue after two years.The department I oversaw created some truly incredible programs and promotions for a wide range of national and regional companies. Our successful partnership with Newcastle Casino organically grew to a multi-million dollar naming rights deal of Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, and several other key accounts grew by upwards of $800,000.Some of the key partnerships we were able to create include Chevrolet, Devon Energy, Love's Travel Stops, Pepsi, Hertz, Taco Bell, and Chesapeake Energy.

I oversaw the planning, execution and activation of many of the Dayton Dragons top partners, including our naming rights partner, Fifth Third Bank.The Dragons are widely considered to be one of the best teams in professional sports, selling out every game they've ever played since 2000. I worked with businesses to learn about their company objectives and discover ways to leverage the unique marketing horsepower of the Dragons to impact their business.Some of the highlights from our partnerships included increasing the sales of a partners' product by 80% in one month, as well as overseeing our Hometown Heroes platform, where we honored local families and deployed Airmen from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
