Dynasty Notes – Part 9

Dynasty Notes will take you through the development of Dynasty Athlete Representation, LLC. If you have not yet read Dynasty Notes – Part 8, go ahead and read it. Enjoy Dynasty Notes – Part 9.

You may notice a big change. Not only did I personally design a brand new website for Dynasty, but the author of Dynasty Notes Part 9 is me (Darren Heitner) instead of Matthew Vuckovich. Why the change of authors? The answer to that question is rather complex, but I will do my best to explain it in a short and succinct manner. With the start of 2008, Matthew and I were planning on making this year our breakout year for Dynasty. For various reasons, Matthew is no longer a part of Dynasty. I have bought out his shares and will personally manage the company with the assistance of various Dynasty Directors and our wonderful intern, Austin Walton. Matthew will be starting up his own agency from scratch. Most importantly, the entire transaction was accomplished in an amicable manner and Matthew and I continue to be friends even though our business relationship did not succeed.

With that said, I believe that 2008 will still be the most important year for Dynasty. I am getting ready to possibly unveil a new tactic to acquire a strong sponsorship platform for Dynasty’s motor sports client, Jeremy Frankoski. I also have big plans to be expanding our baseball, basketball, and football divisions within the next year. Dynasty now has a Director of Basketball operations and will be signing a certified NFLPA agent shortly. Also, Austin Walton is doing a fantastic job as Dynasty’s first intern.

Dynasty is not just an agency; it’s a life style. I will bleed green and gold and have no plans on slowing down my drive to make Dynasty the best sports agency in existence.

Thank you for reading this edition of Dynasty Notes. Make sure to be on the lookout for Dynasty Notes – Part 10.

Austin is the smartest sports person that I know. You are lucky to have him. Hopefully, ya’ll will form a powerful team.

It’s often times easier to start a business on your own, especially when young and stubborn. Good luck in the future!

Looks like someones scared of a little competition. People will soon know the truth. Everything will be uncovered out in the open. This guy never fails to amuse me.

David Nevermind- Isn’t Vuckovich… But that’s raw and went hard in the paint..

Jerry Gladfield,
Which other sites has Vuckovich been saying this stuff on? Do you have any links or a way I can find such links?

I have taken the liberty to delete Jerry Gladfield’s messages. This is the last I will speak on this issue, but after taking note of his fake email addresses that he was disguising under and looking at his IP address, I have determined that he is hiding under a fake persona. I am implementing a new filter that will take care of these issues in the future. Sorry about the spam on this post.
