This KU College of Business grad has turned his passion for sports into a decadelong career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Now Assistant Manager of Suite Services, he helps deliver premium game-day experiences—all while living in Wilmington, Delaware with his wife. He began as an intern and joined the Eagles full time in 2016. After three years in Ticket and Fan Services, he transitioned to the Premium department, where he focuses on client retention and service fulfillment. At KU, it was volunteer experiences and the SLAM club that confirmed his passion for the sports industry. “Game days never go perfectly, but volunteering taught me to think quickly and see the big picture,” he says. Personally, he’s proudest of marrying his wife. Professionally, he finds meaning in every game. “When the stadium is packed before kickoff, it feels like all our offseason work is validated,” he says. He’s also proud to have attended three Super Bowls and been part of two championship seasons. His advice to students: “Shoot for the stars. Volunteer, stay curious, and pursue internships in the field you love.” He credits KU mentors like Professor Kerri Cebula, Jay Gallagher, and Terry Sitler for shaping his path. “Their support and example made a lasting impact.” Brandon Sochovka ‘16 From KU to the NFL: Building a Career with the Philadelphia Eagles 16
