What were some of your most satisfying successes of the past year, and why? It was a great privilege to play a role in the final chapter of the late Pat Bowlen’s highly successful 38-year stewardship of the Denver Broncos. The careful and respectful process conducted by the trustees was consistent with Pat’s principles, attracted offers from multiple qualified parties, and resulted in a record-breaking price and the selection of the Walton-Penner family, who will be ideal successors. The result validated the numerous thoughtful decisions that Pat made during his stewardship of the Broncos, provides a wonderful legacy for his family, and assures the community of continued committed ownership.

It was also a pleasure to work alongside my long-time friend and client, Commissioner Kevin Warren of the Big Ten Conference, as he further transformed the college sports space with the Conference’s recent groundbreaking media deals.
