Eric Shuster, who the Washington Post’s sports blog labeled “possibly the most powerful man in D.C. Sports”, is Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic’s liaison between company partners and local teams and athletes. He launched the foundation to honor the memory of his late mother, Elaine, a longtime educator and D.C.-area native. The nonprofit supports a number of educational initiatives in and around Maryland.
