SPRINGFIELD, Mo.— Drury University Vice President and Director of Athletics Corey Bray announced that Bryant Colombo has joined the Athletics Department to serve as Coordinator of Ticket Operations.
Colombo worked last summer as a Ticket Sales Representative for the Bismarck Larks, a summer collegiate baseball team in the Northwoods League. A recent graduate of Missouri State with a degree in Entertainment Management, Colombo also worked as an account executive for The Atherton Group, a professional sales and marketing firm in suburban St. Louis.
“We are excited about bringing Bryant on board as part of our office team,” said Bray. “He gained valuable experience last summer in Bismarck, and we believe he will be a valuable asset to Drury Athletics as we continue to grow our base of season ticket holders while continuing our commitment to quality service to our fans and donors. Please join me in welcoming Bryant to the Drury Panthers family!”
Colombo is a St. Louis native, and he replaces Paige Grisham who accepted a role with the university’s Advancement Department as the Director of Parent/Family and Athletics Giving.
He began work with Drury Athletics this week as the office prepares to host the Pink & White Lady Classic, a 32-team girls’ high school basketball tournament Dec. 27-30, and Drury’s next set of home basketball games on beginning Jan. 2 against William Jewell.
