What experience was most valuable for you within the Sports Law Program?

The ability to simultaneously work for my current employer while maintaining a full-time course load was vital to securing what ultimately became a full-time job in my desired field.

What is your current job (title / organization)?

Vice President, Baseball Operations (Milwaukee Brewers)

How did your participation in the Sports Law Program prepare you for your current position?

The ability to take broad range of sports law-specific courses allowed me to further my legal knowledge and apply those lessons within a context that interested me greatly. That ability to enter the workforce with a baseline knowledge of the legal aspects within my chosen field was invaluable.

Would you recommend participation in the Sports Law Program to incoming admitted students? If yes, why? Please include any advice for these students as well.

Yes! The sports law program allows students the opportunity to apply a well-rounded legal education to facts, cases and topics that interest them within the sports realm. I see little reason *not* to participate in the Sports Law Program for students who choose to enroll at Marquette Law School. My advice to future students is to cast a wide net regarding the activities, courses, and experiences you take part in as a member of the Marquette Law School family. You never know which experience or personal connection could help jump start your career.
