Also, with the name Dynasty, we were reminded of the Roman Colosseum, Forum, etc...thus the columns. Ironically, the first guy we were talking to was Danny Richmond (also initials D.R. like the logo). Matthew (my former partner) and I both went to high schools with the colors green and gold.

I really feel like that logo describes a dynasty. Darren, I deffinantly want to get in contact with the creator of your logo but a question to you: How did you make the decision on that logo and why?

A lot of agents, especially in the field of baseball, are former players themselves. While I did not play high school baseball, I have played the sport for the majority of my life, and it is definitely the sport that I excelled most in. I did not play for my high school team because at the time, Nova High School was ranked #2 in the nation, and if you did not try out your freshman year, you had no shot of making the team. It is a county school and with both parents having to work early in the morning, there was no one to take me to tryouts or practice. Oh well. And for those who don't know, I am not exactly a giant, clocking in at 5'9 and 135lbs, although I pride myself in the fact that I can bench press 225 3 times. So basketball was not an option, although I did just ball out on court 1 of UF's gym on Friday (which is the best pickup game court...I know...big deal, right? haha). But just because I was a baseball player my whole life who ended picking up the sport of volleyball in high school and eventually being named captain of the team senior year along with being selected as an all county setter, that does not mean that my interests have to lie in the MLB...or the AVP! To tell you the truth, I am interested in each of the big three sports. I see Dynasty being a major player in all 3. I am definitely a student of each game, have done extensive research in each area, and continue to work hard to prove that I, and Dynasty, am ready to represent top talent in all 3 leagues.

If not, HS varsity sport? Just curious as to where your interests lie in regards to sport leagues if you had to choose between the big 3.

I think they'll stick with Bron Bron. And as far as the Fins are concerned, Miami fans should be happy that any percentage is out of Wayne's hands.
