Bio
Dain Blanton
I have had the pleasure of working with Peter on many occasions and at many different events. Peter successfully creates, produces, and manages sports related experiential events. For over 15+ years, he is a proven motivator and recruiter of top tier professional athletes to drive charity fund-raisers and special events benefiting Breast Cancer Research and Prostate Cancer Awareness. His diligence and attention to detail throughout the entire process is outstanding. He is a skilled Emcee, with the ability to run the show, entertain, and create a very fun and engaging environment for participants, spectators, and the celebrity athletes. Additionally, Peter is actively involved in the sport of beach volleyball, a former AVP player who has spent many years coaching and developing young players, running tournaments and creating beach leagues to grow the game. He showcased his skills as an exceptional Play by Play Sports Announcer on the Corona Light Wide Open Volleyball Tour, providing entertainment and P/A services, while developing a great following at each city with players, sponsors and spectators. Peter is a true professional and a pleasure to work. He would be a great addition to any organization who is looking for a dedicated, loyal and team-focused sports professional with natural charisma and personality!
