The Captain's Chair

Even the Lone Ranger Did Not Travel Alone

Every captain needs a crew and I'm proud to announce mine. Earlier this year, Brittany Harmon (ladies first) and Brad Eggert joined the team at FishBait as crew members. And, I simply don't know what I did before without them.

Brittany joined us after a stint as marketing intern with the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and handles our WBCA account and a myriad of sponsor servicing duties for all of our clients.

A native of Cincinnati , Brittany is a graduate of Walsh University (BA in Finance and Management), where she captained her basketball team for three years, winning the 1998 NAIA Division II National Championship. She earned her MBA from Kent State in 2003 while working as a senior marketing analyst at The Tinken Company.

While at the WBCA, Brittany served as interim marketing director while the marketing director, Seana Peck was out on extended maternity leave.

A gifted athlete, Brittany today plays on a world-class traveling Ultimate Frisbee team.

Brad brings a wealth of sports marketing and management skills to FishBait. A native of Columbus , Ohio and a graduate of The University of Kentucky, Brad began his career in the sports information department at UK . From there Brad worked in sales for the National Spirit Group, served as a sports administration and officiating assistant for The Southeastern Conference, worked as an event coordinator for the Olympic Regional Development Authority in Lake Placid, NY and for Total Sports/Quokka Sports in Raleigh, NC.

Next, Brad served as facilities manager for the ice hockey venues during the Salt Lake Olympic Games in 2002. After the Games, Brad served as tour manager for the Harley-Davidson 100 th Anniversary Open Road Tour and the Random House Seussentennial Imagination Tour and Junie B. Jones Stupid Smelly Bus Tour. Brad then joined Discovery Communications, Inc. as an event manager on a variety of projects including the launch of the Lance Armstrong Discovery Pro Cycling Team before joining FishBait.

Brad handles our AFCA account and assists with all special events activities of the NABC.

Brad is also a high school basketball official and hopes to climb the ladder to the collegiate level.

The future is bright for FishBait with the additions of Brittany and Brad. Welcome aboard!
