"Alone on an island", in just over three months he was able to single handily sell out of all remaining premium seating inventory, valued at just under $5 million. John's career has flourished within Legends with promotions to Premium Sales Consultant - Levi's Stadium, Director of Development - University of Oklahoma, and currently is the Director of Sales for the University of Notre Dame. He is now the Vice President of Sales and Marketing with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL. John has been passionate about sports since childhood, growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska a devoted fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Chicago Cubs.

There, he learned to work with people, and understand how to form strong relationships quickly. That experience served him well as the general manager of a large retail store, Abercrombie & Fitch in the largest mall in the North America in Edmonton, Alberta.
