Q: What motivated you to launch a Sports Agency?Ī: I always have had the greatest relationships with the players that I worked with.
I now along with Ciro, look to use our knowledge of sports, connections, marketing background and expertise, to not only help our athletes capitalize on their earned opportunity but to provide an asset and mentor within the wide world of sports. Following the 2020 season, I stepped away from the Pirates to join forces with new sports agent and good friend of mine Ciro Poppiti. After incredible efforts by Pirates ownership to play a 2020 season with or without fans, the IFL and the Pirates were forced to cancel the 2020 season. In late 2019 I resigned from the Roughriders and took a position as the Director of Marketing and Sponsorship Sales with the Indoor Football League’s Massachusetts Pirates. The team was renamed the West Virginia Roughriders whose last season was in 2019 winning the league championship just months before Covid broke out across the world. After dozens of cities visited and explored, we settled on moving the team to the WesBanco Arena in Wheeling West Virginia. After the second year we found out that the city, who owned the stadium, was going to shut it down and destroy the stadium so we were forced to move the franchise. The Richmond Roughriders appeared in 2 championships and won 1 in their two seasons at the Richmond Coliseum.

After getting out of the sports industry for a couple years doing various other ventures, I found myself partnering up with a colleague and launching a professional Arena Football team in Richmond Virginia in late 2016. Was a great way to see the country and work with tons of organizations, professional athletes, and understand what it really feels like to be “on the road”.
Literally visiting dozens of states throughout my summers. My first position professionally was working for a sports entertainment company that would travel across the country performing at Single A through Triple A baseball games throughout the summer. Q: Tell us a little bit about your sports career as a player and agent?Ī: I started working in sports in my early twenties after graduating the University of Florida. We look for all the obvious qualities, and then the ability to change. They might need to have to change their mindset, position, location, training regiment, and more. Q: What qualities do you look for in representing an athlete?Ī: Athletes have to be willing to change.
