Marc Kligman wears his yarmulke and tzitzit for the entire baseball world<br />
to see and it has served him well. In the highly competitive and cutthroat<br />
business of athlete representation, Marc has set himself apart from the<br />
competition by his strict observance to Torah law. He schleps his clients<br />
to kosher restaurants all over the country and counsels them with the<br />
precepts he has learned from Torah. No matter what small town or big<br />
city venue Marc finds himself in while he is out servicing or recruiting<br />
clients, a story always unfolds with the people he encounters.<br />
Marc was born in Philadelphia and<br />
grew up in a relatively secular family<br />
in Stamford, Connecticut. Besides his<br />
day school education through sixth<br />
grade, the Kligman family did not<br />
have much other Jewish influence.<br />
Marc attended a secular high school<br />
in Stamford graduating with high<br />
honors and earning 10 varsity letters<br />
in football, basketball, and baseball.<br />
Marc attended The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland,<br />
graduating in the top quarter of his class while earning a Bachelor of Arts<br />
degree in both International Relations and Hispanic and Italian Studies.<br />
While at Johns Hopkins, Marc played varsity baseball, worked as an<br />
Admissions Representative, and was a brother in the Alpha Delta Phi<br />
fraternity. After college, Marc went directly to law school and<br />
graduated with cum laude honors from Tulane University School<br />
of Law in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was during his law school<br />
years through a connection with Chabad at Tulane that the<br />
Jewish spark inside of him began to flicker again and he began to<br />
embrace a more observant life.<br />

“<br />
Moshe Kligman’s words and stories of his experiences as a observant baseball agent were truly inspiring and meaningful to my<br />
congregants when he spoke at our shul. He is dynamic and articulate speaker who knows how to connect to his audience.<br />

Marc J. Kligman, Esq.<br />
Attorney, Baseball Agent, Observant Jew<br />
Marc was admitted to practice law in California in 1995 and began his<br />
legal career as a deputy public defender for the County of San Diego<br />
representing indigent persons charged with crimes. Marc founded<br />
Total Care Sports Management in 1998 and was certified as a player<br />
agent by the Major League Baseball Player’s Union in 2000. In an effort<br />

firm in June 1999 and has practiced criminal defense and represented<br />
professional baseball players since. During his years as a litigation<br />
attorney, Marc has been lead counsel on over 40 criminal jury trials. All of<br />
this experience has led TCSM to currently represent 60 Major League and<br />
Minor League baseball players, Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry, and several<br />
top NCAA Division I Coaches.<br />
In his spare time, Marc has volunteered as a youth baseball coach for many<br />
years. From 1999-2004 Marc founded and managed the San Diego Aces,<br />
a 16-18 year old wood bat summer team comprised of some of the top<br />
high school players in the San Diego county, many of whom now play<br />
professionally. Now, he coaches youth league teams for his two boys.<br />
Marc has finished the 2005 San Diego Rock ‘N Roll Marathon, holds a 1st<br />
degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a Practitioner 4 Rank in Krav Maga, and<br />
enjoys playing basketball, golf, and running.<br />
