Adam Hermsdorfer, Big Tuna Interactive
- About me: I grew up in a very small farm town in Ohio and was the first person from my high school to get a Division 1 athletic scholarship. Baseball was my sport and I dreamed of making it to the big leagues. I got hurt and didn’t make it as a player, but I made it as a coaching staff member! I was with the Cleveland Indians for 4 seasons and served as a Video Coach to the big league team the last 2 seasons. It was a great experience. After the ’05 season, I moved west to pursue other opportunities and have fallen in love with San Diego. It is the best city in America!
