About David Simons

My name is David Simons, and I am a graduate from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with Bachelor\'s Degree in Sport Management. I specialize in several areas such as guest experience, business development, operations, event marketing, and community engagement in the professional sports and experiential retail industry. I am passionate about learning processes and finding solutions that will drive growth, efficiency, and successful results. My passion and commitment also led me to establish authentic connections, and creating a diverse and inclusive environment to deliver a great experience. I have also been fortunate to have had several opportunities to be involved in the sports industry including with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, Minnesota United FC, Nike, Lululemon. In addition, I have also had the privileged of working in major events such as the 2019 NCAA Men’s Final Four, Super Bowl LII, and the 2017 MLB All Star Game.
