| Celebrity Agent - Ryan Totka, Founder of AthletePromotions |
With
a strong desire and passion for sports as both a fan and a
player, celebrity agent, Ryan Totka founded AthletePromotions on the
principal that sports fans and businesses should
enjoy the experience of interacting with their favorite
celebrity sports figures, both in person and online. With our
connections in the sports industry and access to thousands of celebrities and athletes, we have the power to
make that possible. As well as assisting corporate clients
with booking their favorite athletes and celebrities, our goal for our athlete
clients is to give them maximum exposure on the Internet by
creating official websites and developing marketing
solutions to help connect athletes, corporations and loyal
fans, maximizing the power of the Internet. Visit the official website of Ryan Totka at www.RyanTotka.com.
Growing
up in the Daytona Beach, Florida, Ryan was an All-County wide
receiver in high school and a centerfielder in college. He
had hopes of playing sports at a high level, which fell
through due to a nagging knee injury. He is still actively involved
in flag football and softball leagues throughout the Orlando
area and enjoys playing golf, tennis, biking, running, ping pong and weight training. When it's all said and done, Ryan would like to be known as one of the most influential people in the world of sports marketing.
Ryan was born in Edison, New Jersey on December 30, 1977 and
graduated from the University of Central Florida in 1999
with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in
Marketing. He was recently named the winner of the 2003
University of Central Florida Rising Star Award for the
College of Business and nominated for top 40 under 40 in the
Orlando Business Journal. Ryan currently lives in fast
growing Downtown Orlando, Florida and has started four
successful companies over the past ten years. His knowledge of the Internet has allowed him to provide successful marketing strategies to all size businesses in many different niche industries.
A few simple words to describe Ryan would be: Internet Entrepreneur, Marketing Guru and Sports Enthusiast.
Being
involved in sports all his life, he has hands-on experience
in looking for the most creative ways to promote athletes,
which include website development, event booking, Internet promotion and
creating a strong brand around the athlete. Along the way,
he's worked with many world class athletes, such as Wayne Gretzky, Joe Theismann, Mike Ditka, Vince
Carter, Nick Anderson, Thurman Thomas, Tim Tebow, William "The Fridge"
Perry, Doc Rivers, Spud Webb, Zack Greinke, Rickie Weeks,
Pat Summerall, Andre Reed, Marv Levy, Steve Garvey, Torry Holt, Lebron James to name a few, which
is an experience like no other (besides catching a touchdown
pass).
Being a
loyal UCF Knight supporter, in the fall of 2007, Ryan
created
KevinSmithforHeisman.com,
a site helping University of Central Florida running back Kevin Smith get nationwide
Heisman respect. He also built, markets and manages the websites for DeAnna Pappas (former Bachelorette on ABC's reality show), actress Jasmine Dustin and many other popular celebrities.
In May of 2006, Ryan also co-founded RedCarpetMonday®, an exclusive "invitation-only" social business network for business owners, professionals, senior level executives and entrepreneurs. The live events are designed for professionals to relax, socialize and share business ideas. The website, www.RedCarpetMonday.com is a networking community for members to interact and build business relationships.
In
his spare time, Ryan constantly looks for ways to change the
world and has worked and help support many charities and foundations including the National MS Society, the Childrens Home Society, the Make a Wish Foundation, Vince Carter's Embassy of Hope and the UCF Foundation. Other hobbies include traveling to NYC,
Chicago and Las Vegas, riding the Vespa, playing flag football, golf and ping pong, collecting sports memorabilia, hopping curbs in the Hummer, eating
sushi and starting new Internet companies. Ryan actively follows the
business ideas of Internet billionaire, Dallas Mavericks
owner Mark Cuban, and enjoys listening to the music of John
Mayer, Jason Mraz, Robin Thicke and Michael Buble.
Favorite Quote: "If you enjoy what
you do for a living, you never work a day in your life" and "You Can't Hit a Home Run Sitting on the Bench."
