Month: November 2010
I am currently up in Bloomington, Indiana, where I am finishing up a nice little tour of college campuses this week.

Condon claims that Pickett owes the agent $83,600 in unpaid agent fees, and wants the court to confirm and enforce an arbitrator’s order stating such is true. The […]
This is an awesome week for me. I am traveling across the country, from Pennsylvania, to Jacksonville, Florida, and finally to Bloomington, Indiana, to speak about being a sports agent. One of the main things that people want to hear is the story of how I got into the agent profession at such a young […]
