How did you get started working in sports? I started as a Stadium Operations Trainee in January 2015.
What advice do you have for other people who are interested in working in sports? Get your mind right for one of the greatest experiences of life as it is offered.
If you didn't work in sports what would you do? I would probably farm during the summer and film or guide deer and duck hunts in the Mississippi Delta in the fall/winter.

One thing people don't know about the M-Braves front office: It's a very close knit family. Sometimes we love each other, other times we "don't like" each other, but at the end of the day we're all here for each other and for a common goal of creating the best family friendly atmosphere that Mississippi has to offer!
