(2006 – present)
Responsible for coordinating Physicals and Stress echo testing as part of the annual
preseason screening mandated by the NGA for professional basketball players. This is a
major undertaking, held annually at the Palace of Auburn Hills, entails transportation of
echo machines, treadmills, etc to the Palace, an all day affair starting with physicals,
culminating with exercise stress testing for all players, subs and coaches. This is a high
profile, prestigious, gratuitous service that the DMC provides and is coordinated by me
that incidentally received wide press coverage this year (Detroit Free Press).
