Vice President of Venues and Arenas at SONCO

Based in Olney, MD and originally from Central New Jersey, I’ve spent my career immersed in the world of sports and live events. Before joining SONCO, I spent over 17 years in the sports industry with organizations like the New Orleans Saints, Washington Commanders, New Jersey Devils, and Monumental Sports. After 17 years working in professional sports, I moved to the supplier side and joined SONCO, where I’ve now been for over six years. As Vice President of Venues and Arenas, I lead our work with stadiums, arenas, and event venues across the country. My focus is on delivering crowd control and custom branding solutions that help create safe, organized, and visually impressive environments for fans and guests. Outside of work, I’m still all about sports and family, with most of my competitive energy going into golf and disc golf these days.
