In July of 2010, along with sports memorabilia expert Dave Mona, SportsStars.net was established as a LLC. We are a sports memorabilia appraisal company that also has expertise in direct sports marketing for former and current athletes. Dave and I have over forty years of appraisal experience and have done extensive work with players, agents, law firms, estate planners, insurance companies and private collectors.For ten years, I was the VP of Sales at Field of Dreams, a national sports memorabilia store. The connections made at Field of Dreams have allowed me to remain active in sales, marketing and using those skills to be involved in the community. I was responsible for maintaining and growing our elite customer profiles as well as designing and implementing new concepts throughout our stores. A favorite project was working on the NBA's 50 Greatest Player promotion in 1997. Perhaps the most interesting was working on Kirby Puckett's estate following his death.Following Field of Dreams, I worked at WCCO Radio in sales and still work for Sampson Miller Advertising, a promotional advertising agency. Both experiences have been invaluable in marketing through media and product development as the new company is launched.Besides growing our appraisal business, SportsStars.net has a 2013 mission to become the website that players can provide their fans and customers with the best product and experience. We use our expertise to assist the players to have more involvement with how their memorabilia is marketed and we provide customers with items that come directly from the athlete. In addition to the online sales, we work with athletes and private collectors to assist them in understanding what assets they have and their respective value.Specialties: Sports memorabilia appraisals, sports memorabilia, branding and identity, corporate partnerships and player sports marketing
