Pat has delivered incredible results and proves to be a key asset as we continue to elevate our media strategy. With the energy that Pat and his team bring, combined with his positive and uplifting approach to entertainment, I can’t think of anyone better to be the face of our brand and content network.”

FanDuel has been an amazing partner of ours for the past year, and I've loved everything I've done with them whether it was helping launch mobile sports betting here in Indiana or the Spread The Love promotions. With this expanded partnership and FanDuel’s distribution and media muscle I can’t think of a better place to reach and entertain sports fanatics. Together we will take the fan experience to new heights. I'm pumped for what the future brings.
