If you’re looking to break into the world of sports, connecting with Dave Dagostino is a must. After assessing my skill set, Dave evaluated my abilities and found a perfect fit in the sports media and marketing world. He helped me on board, transition during the first 30 days and took an active role in my development throughout the work experience. Dave will be a “go to” throughout the rest of my career.
