Meet Tommy BeniZio, the "Guy in Charge"

Tommy Benizio formed BeniZio Sports after selling his last pro sports team in late 2018. After being released from arguably the worst team in pro hockey in Roanoke (ECHL) at 19 years old, Tommy began operating hockey teams at the entry level. His passion for running teams quickly propelled him through the ranks, making him the youngest GM in the ECHL at 26 years old. Eventually earning part ownership of a team, Benizio was able to transition into football, launching the Indoor Football League in 2003. Having served in positions from team owner to league commissioner, Tommy has become well known as a leader in the industry over nearly 30 years in the business. A true captain of his ship, he is well versed in every area of successfully operating professional sports teams, but his specialty is training teams in sales and in promotional and marketing efforts. Benizio is in love with his wife Jessica and their daughter Giuliana, and he still enjoys hitting the ice regularly.
