An Atlanta native and father of four, as the Director of Local Partnerships at Dickey Broadcasting Company, I oversee the development and execution of strategic marketing campaigns for Atlanta's leading sports radio station, Home of the Atlanta Braves, and Official Sports Talk Station of UGA & Georgia Tech 93.7fm/680am The Fan. I leverage my creative problem solving skills and business acumen to deliver innovative and impactful solutions that drive revenue growth and listener engagement for our clients and partners.With over 7 years of combined experience in digital, media, marketing, and sales, I have a proven track record of generating results and exceeding expectations in fast-paced and competitive environments. I have successfully closed as well as managed multiple large-scale contracts and accounts with local and national brands. I have also partnered with the Atlanta Braves and other sports organizations to create and launch exclusive content and promotions that enhance our brand awareness and loyalty. My passion for sports and media stems from my childhood. Growing up I played most sports, whatever was in season - baseball, basketball, football, soccer, hockey. My father was also always taking me to events to scalp tickets. My first lessons in sales were watching him negotiate ticket prices in the shadows of stadiums. My determination and work ethic were honed as a U.S. Navy Nuclear Machinist's Mate. I served for 6 years in the Navy, where I learned the values of teamwork, leadership, and discipline. I pursued my education with my G.I. Bill at Georgia State University, where I earned my Associates and then my Bachelor's degree in Marketing, before attending graduate school at The University of Georgia. I am currently working on my MBA attending classes in the evening at UGA. I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new opportunities that challenge me and help me grow as a professional and person.
