ON

WITH THE

SHOW
JEN GRINSPAN

en Grinspan works in a build-
ing where people come to

escape reality, which is iron-
J
ic because she is a self-described

reality television superfreak. She

was even a contestant on The
Rebel Billionaire and was nearly

selected to appear on NBC's The
Apprentice.

“There is a glimpse of reality in
reality television,” she says.

While her evenings may be spent
with her husband scanning the

DVR for something to feed
her reality ix, her days—and

some nights, too—are spent
trying to ind new and innova-

tive ways to sell out every
event the Sun National Bank

Center hosts. “I am con-

stantly thinking about how to
do that,” she says.

Grinspan is no stranger
to life behind the scenes,

and that has nothing to do
with her brief shot at reality

stardom. As the director of
marketing at the arena, she

works to make every event a
success, operating far from

the limelight that is reserved
for the performers and the

headliners. In fact, when the
show starts, she is rarely looking at

the stage.
“Nothing is better than working

super hard to market an event

and then coming to the arena and
seeing the venue sold out and

seeing people excited to be here,”
she says. “Being able to see the
Sun National Bank Center
process from start to inish and
