Eric Shuster named Associate General Manager at Maryland Sports Properties

Eric Shuster has been named Associate General Manager at Maryland Sports Properties.  Previously, he was Director of Strategic Partnerships at Monumental Sports.  When he exited Monumental Sports, Shuster stated on Facebook:

“In 1995 I began my career with the Washington Bullets as a PR intern. After my internship, I was hired in 1996 selling season tickets. In 1998 I made the move to Home team Sports (HTS). HTS then became Comcast Sportsnet, NBC Sports Washington, and to this day the Monumental Sports network.

“On my first day, I was given no accounts. But I was given access to my mentor Andy Ockershausen. I had no contacts, but  Andy was a media legend. He showed me what sales was and taught me the phrase “show up on time and return your phone calls”. After 30 years, I have decided to step away from the network and the teams that I love. It’s been an incredible journey with too many people to thank. The memories I have made will last a lifetime.

“I have met so many great people in the business and sports world. And have even had the opportunity to meet three Presidents as well as the most amazing person I know in my wife Shevonne. As I step away, I know my mom is looking the down and proud of me for giving my best day in and day out to the station as well as the community. I want to thank everyone who was a part of this amazing time of my life.”
