SAM ANNABLE

Sam Annable's career might be in its early stages, but that doesn't mean he hasn't already had the experiece of a lifetime. He is currently the Assistant General Manger of Ticket Sales at the University of Illinois for Athletics.

Although only a few years removed from college, Annable is off and running with what is sure to be a very succesful career. Taking a job in the Texas Collegiate League right out of college was the first step to living the ulitmate dream. After spending one season working baseball operations with the East Texas Pump Jacks, Annable moved on to affiliated ball with the Peoria Cheifs in 2011 (then affiliated with the Chicago Cubs).

In his first year with the Chiefs, Annable took over the corporate ticket accounts. That year he increased the sale of all corporate tickets, including suites, party decks, and large picnic outings. After a successful first season in the books, season tickets were also added to his sales inventory. In his second season, overall sales went up yet again and season tickets increased for the first time in years. With two years in the books, he turned to another venture and accepted a positon with the Universtiy of Illinois Athletic Department.

Looking towards the future, Sam hopes to improve the ticket sales for athletics at the universtiy and see the Illini march to victory in all sports. It is a new and exciting time with lots to look froward to!
