The Admirals have hired Brian Martens as an account executive and Timothy Steimel as a marketing coordinator, team president Jon Greenberg announced Monday.
"We are very pleased to add Brian and Tim to our staff," Greenberg said. "They have both paid their dues and performed well during their internships and we are glad that they will now be part of our team on a full-time basis."
Martens, who earned a bachelors degree in sports management from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, joins the Admirals staff on a full-time basis after serving as an intern in the sales department during the 2005-'06 season. A native of Franklin, his duties will include selling and servicing season ticket and group outing accounts, researching potential new clients and assisting with in-game promotions.
Steimel, also a graduate of UW-Parkside, has worked for the Admirals in many part-time capacities over the last six seasons, including this season as marketing intern. His duties will include coordinating the Puck Patrol and Milwaukee Admirals Street Team, assisting in the execution and production of game operations, and developing ticket purchasing opportunities for groups involved in game entertainment.
The Admirals currently lead the Houston Aeros, 3-0, in the best-of-seven West Division Finals with Game Four slated for Tuesday night in Houston. Game 5, if necessary, would follow on Wednesday night at the Toyota Center. Games 6 and 7, if necessary, would be held Saturday and next Monday at the Bradley Center.
