Adie von Gontard - @YMAPAASPORTS
Immersed in sports his entire life as his great grandfather founded Anheuser-Busch and his grandfather owned the St. Louis Cardinals. After graduating with a double-major in Real Estate Finance and Sports Management from Southern Methodist University, Adie spent the early years of his career primarily focusing on sports marketing where he was able to set himself apart from others in the industry due to his forward and creative thinking.  Adie created unprecedented wealth for his clients by securing not only large endorsements, but equity ownership in companies that continue to grow into national powerhouses.  Adie formed APAA Sports Group because he understood the value of having all of the necessary services that clients demand under one agency, something he saw that many other companies failed to address.
