Meet DJ!
My name is DJ Reardon and I am the fall intern at Knox Sports Marketing. I am from Downingtown, Pennsylvania. I'm a diehard Philly sports fan. My two favorite teams are the Phillies and the 76ers. Growing up, my family has always vacationed in various parts of Florida. So naturally, I wanted to start a life for myself down here. I ended up applying to the University of Tampa, not knowing too much about it. Still, I instantly fell in love with the campus and the surrounding area from the second I visited. Througout my time at UT, I have made a lot of great friends and relationships. I hope it will last a long time. I am a senior at the University of Tampa, pursuing a degree in Sport Management with a minor in Business Administration.
In my free time, I usually hang out with my girlfriend or a group of friends. I try to stay active during downtime. When I want to relax, I usually end up watching sports. Sports have always been a cornerstone of my life growing up, so I’ll always find a game to watch almost every day of the week. On the weekends, I love either going to the beach or Disney to have a little “escape” from my everyday week before returning to school and work.
Future Plans:
I’m unsure of where I want to end up after graduation, but I have come to enjoy the marketing side of sports since learning more about it in some of my classes. I am very thankful that the opportunity with Knox Sports has played out, as this is a side of sports that I have come to enjoy. Even though I don’t exactly know where I want to end up post-graduation, I have always wanted to work with the Phillies organization, and since they have a minor league not too far away in Clearwater, hopefully, I can find myself working for them in the future.
Overall, I am very grateful and excited to intern with Knox Sports Marketing. I can’t wait to begin building relationships and my knowledge in the marketing side of the sport, and I am very thankful to gain experience at an organization such as this one!
