Born June 24, 1969, in Galveston, Texas. 10th season as Colts GM. Severe asthmatic who played college football as walk-on WR at Wisconsin until knee injuries ended career. Student assistant coach under Barry Alvarez. Seven years coaching at Texas A&M-Kingsville, rising to defensive coordinator. Bears (2001-2012): scout to Southwest Area Scout to Director of Pro Scouting. Chiefs (2013-2016): Director of Player Personnel, then Director of Football Operations/Assistant GM under John Dorsey. Hired January 2017, replacing Ryan Grigson. Extended through 2026 in August 2021. 70-78-1 record, zero division titles, two playoff appearances. 2018 PFWA Executive of the Year for legendary draft class (Quenton Nelson, Darius Leonard, Braden Smith). Philosophy: build through the draft, prioritize offensive and defensive line talent. Retained by Carlie Irsay-Gordon in January 2026 despite late-season collapse (started 8-2, finished 8-9). The Sauce Gardner trade (2026 and 2027 first-round picks plus Adonai Mitchell) represents a major philosophical pivot that backfired when team lost seven straight to miss playoffs.
