Bio
Jim Reese
I had a chance to work closely with Gerrod while he was completing his M.S. in Sport Management at SUNY Cortland. Gerrod is one of the most passionate people I have ever worked with. His passion for life and sports is positively contagious. He is also incredibly detail oriented. I recommend Gerrod without reservation and look forward to working with him someday if he decides to transition into teaching.
Jim Reese
I met Gerrod while he was searching for a master's degree program in sport management. We were fortunate to have him select our graduate program at SUNY Cortland. Genuine is the best adjective I can use to describe Gerrod. In the past, Gerrod has indicated his interest in possibly becoming a college professor down the road. Though I believe he will be successful in any endeavor he pursues, I think he would be an outstanding educator some day. He has a unique ability to connect with and impact people.

Originally, the idea was to have a day of soccer for the vast amount of immigrants in the region. But a handful of locals saw it as something much bigger. Thus S.U.S.A. was born with 8 teams from 7 different nations in 2011. With the success that S.U.S.A. has had in just one season, the league is poised to grow to 12 teams in the coming years, with even more diverse representation. The league has already gained coverage locally, regionally and nationally with various news and media groups. S.U.S.A. also prides itself on the support from the local churches, or "Church of Syracuse" as they like to be know as. This is a conglomeration of local American churches and International Churches coming together with the sole idea of "ALL NATIONS, ONE COMMUNITY".
