As a co-founder of Fancorps G.I. put the "General" in general manager from day one. He has a passion for leadership and project management and has successfully steered the Fancorps ship for the past four years. Ambitious and driven to stay on top of the curve G.I. prides himself on organization and innovation within the office and at home. When not knee deep in social media he's likely using an Apple device of some sort, usually listening to The Beatles or U2, and very likely all while going for a run around his home north of Dallas, Texas.
