Pat Williams has more than 48 years of professional sports experience to his credit.  The 70-year-old protégé of the late Bill Veeck is probably most known for his promotional and marketing wizardry.

That same type of creativity and ingenuity has turned a Central Florida pro sports dream into the reality of Orlando Magic basketball, reaching into the homes of NBA fans throughout the country.

Williams was promoted to his current post from the general manager position in April of 1996. As the senior vice president, Williams serves in strategic planning activities relating to RDV Sports, named for Rich DeVos and the parent company of the Magic. He also spearheads research of future RDV Sports properties. Additionally, he serves as the promotional leader and strategic marketer for memberships at the $50 million state-of-the-art RDV Sportsplex. He is involved in training and mentoring of RDV Sports employees, while making public appearances on behalf of RDV Sports and the Orlando Magic.

Williams is also considered one of the country’s top motivational and inspirational public speakers.
