Last week, I joined Brett Garfinkelt, Anthony Pitre, and Welch Suggs at the inaugural Sports Creators Conference (SCC 2026) at American University. Always enjoy sharing my perspective on NIL, content creation, sponsorships, and more. Thanks to Matt Winkler and Buffy Filippell for the invite!

Ten years ago, I took a leap of faith and launched Firestarter Communications. I had a vision, a whole lot of determination, and absolutely no idea where the journey would take me.

A decade later, I've had the privilege of working with incredible people, representing remarkable brands, navigating challenges, celebrating victories, and building a business that continues to evolve.

It hasn't always been easy. Entrepreneurship rarely is. But every experience, every relationship, and every opportunity has helped shape Firestarter into what it is today.

To the clients who trusted me, the colleagues who collaborated with me, the friends who championed me, and everyone who has been part of this journey — thank you.

Last week, I had the pleasure of traveling to Aberdeen, SD, to work with the Northern State University football staff on building their personal and team brands, recruiting outreach, and NIL opportunities. I also enjoyed the opportunity to speak with NSU marketing students about personal branding and its role in their future careers.

People can’t get enough of client Maddie Baehr’s incredible journey from D-I soccer player to representing Ireland in flag football—with an Olympic dream now in her sights.

Great segment from WTSP on a story that’s just getting started.

Maddie Baehr, a dual citizen and Division I soccer player from Bradenton, made Ireland's national flag football team weeks after asking to try out.

Another year of the Shayne Graham Specialists Camp is officially in the books!

As always, Firestarter Communications was proud to lead the event logistics, volunteer management, and marketing to help make the weekend a success.

A huge thank you to Shayne Graham, our coaches, volunteers, sponsors, parents, and every athlete who joined us. We appreciate everyone who played a part in making this year's camp such a great experience.

We'll see you next year in Cincinnati!

About 1,400 miles. 4 states. 2 torrential downpours. 1 podcast.

Last week I made a quick run to Jacksonville to accompany Brady Russell as he sat down with the Built 4 More Podcast. These are the parts of sports marketing people rarely see—the travel, the logistics, the preparation, and making sure clients can simply show up and tell their story.

Looking forward to everyone seeing this conversation when it drops.
