Who We Are:

Steve Griffith, General Manager

A twenty five-year professional in Public Relations and Marketing Communications, Steve Griffith has worked at the highest levels in the New York City agency world and at NBC Sports, Madison Square Garden, The Festival Group, Main Events, and the Worldwide Senior Tennis Circuit.

He works with some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment on a year-round basis as the lead PR executive for the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe (televised by NBC Sports each July) and for the Diamond Resorts Invitational PGA TOUR Champions pro/LPGA/celebrity competition (televised by Golf Channel each January).  The list of major personalities he interacts with regularly includes Charles Barkley, Justin Verlander, Emmitt Smith, Ray Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Donaldson, Jason Kidd, John Smoltz, John Elway, Mark Rypien, Joe Theismann, John Daly, Brittany Lincicome, Pat Day and Steve Cauthen.

At NBC, he promoted all major events in the Sports Division, including the Super Bowl, the World Series, Wimbledon, the Rose Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl and the Big East college basketball tournament.

At Madison Square Garden, Griffith was the only director who served on both the Public Relations and Marketing committees for company-wide initiatives.  His day-to-day responsibilities included duties specific to Madison Square Garden Network and Boxing, both of which thrived during his tenure.

Michael Patrick Griffith, Millennial Consultant

Mike Griffith has been all about sports and especially basketball since he got his first Fisher Price hoop for his third birthday. His love for the game grew and he quickly understood that he had to work on his skills to overcome other kids’ height advantages. From third grade on, neighbors learned to set their clocks by the sound of Mike’s dribble drills every morning at 7AM while he waited for the school bus.

One big disappointment came when he was the last kid cut from his CYO JV-A team in the fifth grade. Undeterred, he begged his father to drive him to New York where he could learn to play with the best in the playgrounds there. Living in a suburb of Philly made that impossible so his father did the next best thing and got him a tryout with “Reach One, Teach One” a well-known Philadelphia team that played in the PAL league as well as AAU with many of their games at the famed Happy Hollow gym in Germantown that was the stomping ground of many great players, including the legendary Wilt Chamberlain.

Mike quickly learned the “run and gun” Philly playground style of basketball in his two years with that team, always working on his shot, quickness and ball handling skills.

A student of the game, Mike has had the opportunity to meet many NBA players including Charles Barkley, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd, Shane Battier and Chris Webber. He has also been able to play with and against some of the country’s top high school players through PAL, AAU, camps and as a member of his CYO Varsity A team (yes he did make it) as well as his middle school and high school basketball teams.

A junior at the University of South Carolina, Mike was a manager for the University’s basketball team during his freshman year, is a proud member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, was a varsity basketball player at Henderson High School in West Chester, PA, wrote for his high school newspaper, volunteered at Habitat for Humanity, and interned at NBC’s American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. He has also worked as a floor salesman at Foot Locker and was a camp counselor.
