Palace Sports & Entertainment CEO and leadership

I am a seasoned sports & entertainment technology executive.

I lead people. I innovate. I ensure technology investment is wisely spent. I deliver solutions that are secure, adaptable, visionary, efficient and robust. I build sound technology foundations and know they are ready for the promises of IoT, AI, NLP, Blockchain, VR/AR and more.

My hard work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit come from growing up in Michigan's Thumb area and working in my family's grain elevator business.

At 12, I wrote my first computer program, automating my favorite baseball board game (APBA Baseball).

In 2000, I started a dial-up internet service in my home town -- running the network from my former bedroom in my parents' home. My technical education came from early in my career -- writing code, analyzing big data, building networks, solving diverse business problems.

My \'big league\' debut came in 2005 as Head of IT for the Detroit Tigers. I have worked in sports & entertainment now for 13 years and it has affords me tremendous opportunities to work with brilliant people and amazing technologies.

Successful executive with proven results in: organizational vision and leadership, profit and loss accountability, building brand equity, marketing/sales strategy, and leading teams through transition.

Vast experience leading business with Fortune 100 companies, global agencies, and privately held firms.

Data driven. Customer centric. Employee led.

Mandate to give back.
