Dani Timm, CSEE
Director of Sports Tourism
A 15 year veteran in the sports marketing field, Timm has been recognized for her outstanding success in sports marketing sales, crediting teamwork for her incredible success. Quick facts about Timm: when she's not cooking exquisite Mediterranean meals for her friends, she can be found playing a competitive round of HORSE basketball; she hates when people lock the car windows ("so annoying"); and seeks out hummingbirds in her wildflower garden. Though a self-described bear needing plenty of sleep, Timm is full of energy watching competitive darts and appreciates the sports' hand-eye coordination. Timm is a graduate of the University of Iowa and holds the distinguished Certified Sporting Events Executive (CSEE).
Bill Kelly, CSEE
Sports Tourism Sales Manager
Kelly serves the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau with an infectious belly laugh and 25 years of outdoor event planning experience. Don't be intimidated by his linebacker physique, though: when he's not helping clients produce the best sporting events they've ever experiences, Kelly helps nurture his children into incredible athletes themselves. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and Certified Sporting Events Executive (CSEE), Kelly hates when people say, "You wouldn't believe what just happened" and then proceeds to not tell him. Don't try it. We warned you.
Kenneth Payne
Sports Event Service Manager
With 10 years in event planning, three years in sports event management and on his way to securing the Certified Sporting Events Executive (CSEE) designation, Payne has a deep affinity for growing sports like fencing. Off the "work" courts, he loyally tunes in to football and college basketball. When he's not servicing new and innovative events in Virginia Beach, he's also found playing kickball (taking him back to his elementary days) or tinkering in his garage. Here's what you really need to know: don't serve him broccoli and certainly don't drive in the left hand lane.
