FREDERICKSBURG, VA - The Fredericksburg Nationals have promoted their Vice President of Creative Services, Robert Perry to Vice President and Assistant General Manager and their Director of Operations, Eliot Williams to Vice President of Operations.

Robert Perry graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2015 with a bachelor’s in Sports Management before earning his master’s in Sports Management at Liberty University in 2017.

Perry previously worked at the Jackson Generals in Jackson, Tennessee for three seasons before moving to Fredericksburg in September of 2019 to join the FredNats. As their first Vice President of Creative Services, Perry has overseen all creative elements of the FredNats from advertising and community relations, to game day promotions and in-game entertainment.

“Over the last year, despite struggles with Covid, the Fredericksburg Nationals brand has made a tremendous impact on our community and has received national recognition for promotions within Minor League Baseball.” says, Nick Hall, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the FredNats. “Robert’s leadership helped achieved these milestones and we are excited to see how he can even further elevate our staff as we grow into a national brand.”

Eliot Williams earned an undergraduate degree in Sports Management from Union University in 2012 and a master's degree in Sports Management from East Tennessee State University in 2014.

Williams joined the FredNats during the construction of the ballpark and assisted in making the stadium what it is today. Now, he oversees day-to-day ballpark operations as well as game day operations.

“This new stadium has been put on a giant stage right here in Fredericksburg and has surpassed all expectations in no small part to the work of Eliot. His unwavering work ethic and commitment to this community has made this move a natural fit,” said Hall of Williams.
