Moraga, Ca - Assistant A.D. for Marketing and Advertising, Mike Samuels, announced last week the hiring of Neal McSherry, as the Director of Ticket Sales and Operations. This hire comes after an extensive national search to fill the position.

"We are extremely excited to have Neal join our marketing team," Samuels said. "He is an extremely bright and motivated individual, and is great with people. As a department, we are very confident that Neal is going to make an immediate impact in his new position."
