Come Root For The Underdogs

With Pete Parise being a hot topic amongst St. Louis Cardinals fans, I have begun to get approached by media entities who want to learn more about Pete and who are interested in how he became a client of Dynasty.  Two days ago, I was featured in an interview on the Fansided site, Redbird Rants.  I especially liked the end of the interview,

With his fighting mentality, it wouldn’t be shocking to see Parise in St. Louis at some point this year. He will continue to develop and could be a candidate for the closer’s role when Ryan Franklin is gone. Whenever Parise makes the majors, few will be as proud as Heitner.

From a no-name company to representing Major League talent, it has been quite a journey thus far for Darren Heitner. And this is only the beginning. He will likely be in this industry for a very long time.

“I love every minute of my work,” Heitner said.

I’m glad you liked the article. It was fun learning more about you and Pete and I wish you the best of luck as your company grows. I will continue to follow Pete closely and hope to see him up with the big league club this season!
