Bio:

A native of Salem, Va., Moran learned at an early age to appreciate athletics. During high school he played tennis and participated on the two-time state championship team, as well a two-time state runner up playing the number three seed. Also at this time, he spent every weekend working as a ski instructor at Wintergreen Resort.

During college, Moran continued following his passion in the sports arena and worked his way up from a certified instructor to staff trainer at the Snowshoe Mountain Ski School, as well as interning in the marketing department. Following college, Moran worked as marketing manager for Intrawest at Snowshoe Mountain and it is here he met Shane McConkey, former world extreme skiing champion, sponsored by Red Bull. Shortly after meeting McConkey, Moran accepted the position as marketing manager for Red Bull North America and launched the energy drink in West Virginia and areas in Virginia and Maryland. In 2003 he moved to the West Coast as marketing manager for Washington State. Working with the team, Moran repositioned Red Bull back to number one in the energy drink category. He then took the position of sports marketing manager for the Northwest, followed by the Western region.

Bio:

David Cantu and Pete Moran met through a mutual friend in 2006 and realized they shared a similar desire to begin a sports marketing company. Their vision was to combine Moran's creativity and passion with Cantu's operational experience to help athletes and companies increase their marketing performance and goals. Rezin Sports Marking was then brought to life and experienced immediate success prior to the formal launch.

Following college, Cantu co-founded Redapt Systems with his brother Rick. The company grew to revenues of more than $60 million a year under their leadership, and was recognized as one of Washington State's Fastest Growing Companies in 2000. The company still operates today in Redmond, Wash. and Cantu is an integral part of its unique culture.

Cantu currently sits on advisory boards for numerous Seattle based web 2.0 companies. He and his family enjoy skiing, snowboarding, downhill mountain biking along with an occasional xbox 360 live game.
