Bryan Swalley Heads New Baseball Agency Elite Representation Associates (ERA)

It brings me great pleasure to announce that a former independent contractor of the now defunct sports agency, Dynasty Athlete Representation, LLC (I am no longer a sports agent, and the company name is now Dynasty Dealings, LLC), is being supported by a company that has allowed him to run its newly created baseball division.  I always respected the work product that Bryan Swalley provided to Dynasty Athlete Representation when the company was in the business of representing athletes.  I know he will put forth the same energy and enthusiasm as the baseball division director of Elite Representation Associates (ERA), a new business division of Godfather Media, Inc. (OTC: GFMD).

Swalley spent 4 seasons as a Minor League Baseball player, worked as a scout, and has experience representing professional baseball players.  He has a vast knowledge of not only how the game is played, but how the baseball business works.  Swalley graduated from Marshall University in 2003 and still resides in Huntington, WV, where he will serve as baseball division director of ERA.

“I am very excited and fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with Godfather Media, Inc. in developing ERA,” said Swalley.  “It is always refreshing to collaborate with professionals who share the same ambition and vision, as well as possess a strong passion for both baseball and business.”  Michael Cummings, Godfather Media, Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “We are very pleased to welcome Brian Swalley to our Management Team and view his appointment as being very positive for our company as well as our shareholders. Mr. Swalley’s desire to participate in enhancing shareholder value combined with his successful experience in business and sports makes him especially well-suited to add substance to our Team.”
