Greater Orlando
As the CEO of the Greater Orlando Sports Commission, I lead a dynamic team of professionals who are passionate about promoting and enhancing the Central Florida region as a premier destination for sports tourism and events. With over 30 years of experience in the sports industry, I have a proven track record of creating and executing strategic plans, developing and maintaining key partnerships, and generating new business opportunities that benefit our community and stakeholders. In 2024, Orlando was recognized by the Sports Business Journal as the No. 1 Best Sports Business City for Attracting and Hosting Events. Some of the highlights of my career include securing and hosting multiple high-profile events such as the 2028 Olympic Q-Series, 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, 2024 US Olympic Marathon Trails, 2022 Special Olympics USA Games, 2017 & 2020 Wrestlemania, and the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament in 2017, 2023 & 2028, as well as being recognized as the CEO of the Year in 2017 and one of the 50 Orlando Magazine’s Most Powerful People from 2021-2025. I am also a former managing partner and president of the Orlando Solar Bears, where I oversaw the successful launch and operation of the ECHL franchise after many years as an executive in the NHL. My specialties include sports tourism, community and sports ecosystem strategy, new business development, key account management, sponsorship and ticket sales, marketing campaign creation, digital marketing, media buying, and event planning.
