FIRST OFF, TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF AND HOW YOU CAME TO BE HOCKEY BRAND MANAGER FOR UPPER DECK.
I’m originally from Vancouver. I came to the U.S. to do a sports MBA at San Diego State. I interned with UD as part of the program one day a week, and it was a very fortuitous time to intern here. That was 2011, the year my Canucks went to the Stanley Cup Final. Unfortunately, it was a devastating seven-game loss, but I got to go to Game 2 in Vancouver with UD. While there, my boss introduced me to some people from the NHL, and I took that relationship to move to New York.
