Bruce Rector is the General Counsel for The Sports Facilities Companies - https://sportsfacilities.com/. His company plans and manages the nation’s leading sports, recreation and event destinations. As someone who has children participating weekly in youth sports at different venues around the state and southeast I was very interested to hear what Bruce had to say.

He has worked in professional sports for the Indianapolis Colts, collegiate athletics at the University of Kentucky, and as a volunteer leader for numerous local, state, and national youth sports organizations and events.

Prior to joining SFC, Bruce was President of KBA Sports, in Lexington, Kentucky where he led a team of professionals in organizing, hosting, and managing large sports and recreation programs, including regional and national championship tournaments. In his final year at KBA Sports, the organization attracted over 500,000 visitors for various tournaments and events.
