About

I recently moved to the Atlanta area to get involved in the marketing industry with an interest in sports. I have past experience working with professional athletes where I worked on their marketing campaigns in regards to endorsement deals. This was a great opportunity to develop my sales and media skills, but I am looking to grow my knowledge of the industry.
