Sam has worked with us and many other dealers on advanced marketing programs. His wisdom and knowledge is evident, and he is very easy to communicate with.

Caitlin Moyer

Sam was an intern for me at the Milwaukee Brewers almost 10 years ago and he has still kept in touch during that time. I am not surprised to see him grow and advance so much in his career as, even as a college student, he was very conscientious, enthusiastic, responsible and creative. Sam clearly has a passion for marketing, big brands and for people. He is great at making and keeping connections and fostering relationships, both with external partners and in building/managing teams. He has his eyes on the current trends and can identify new ways to promote products.
