lines, but on the entire ballpark experience. He has guided the Angel brand with a focus on affordable

Shohei Ohtani as well as the historic 12-year contract extension for three-time MVP Mike Trout.

partners, and oversees KLAA AM830, the radio flagship of the Angels. His vision and creativity have
brought an emphasis on the Angels’ heritage with a reintroduction of the Club's Hall of Fame with
yearly inductees, hosting of fan events and celebration of team history. Popular giveaways have
included several world record-breaking items and those showcasing the popularity of the Rally
Monkey. His efforts continue to create a brand that connects socially and in sync with current cultural
trends .
