EVERY PLAYER ON A TEAM PLAYS A KEY ROLE
PSP is no different, but what sets us apart is our team of all stars!
Jason grew up as a regular attendee at Nebraska football games with his dad. Those days fueled his passion for being part of the electric atmosphere that any live sports event can bring. As PSP’s founder, he leads, supports, and oversees everything with his zen-like demeanor. When not working, he’s definitely wrestling with his two boys.
JASON KOHLL

As the number one draft pick in PSP’s history, Tamara orchestrates. Accuracy, pocket awareness, and leadership are just some of her main traits. A true maestro of making people shine, she’s the heartbeat of our team. Outside PSP, water is Tamara’s haven, whether it’s a pool, beach, river, or lake.
TAMARA LUPO
COO & Quarterback
Bill has the legs of a potential professional soccer player. Yet, he chose to remain on the business side, channeling sports’ unmatched passion into tangible brand outcomes.

An instinctive and analytical guy, Erik adeptly navigates conversations, often weaving humor into the mix. This approach parallels his role leading PSP’s Business Development department.

Meet Amber, the sweetest person ever to set foot in a boxing ring. Just don’t tell that to her opponents. Within her PSP role, Amber extends clients’ sponsorship teams, playing a crucial role in bringing their goals to life through strategic partnerships. When she’s not at the gym, you can find her at the office. Or is it the other way around?
AMBER SELLERS
Director, Brand Leadership
& Master of Planks
Colleen is the tracker of all trackers, the balancer of big ideas vs. budget, and the questioner of “is that color in brand guidelines?” When she’s not embarking on a never-been-done-before mission for a client, she can be found lost (literally) on a hiking trail, arranging closets in the most concerning fashion, or sampling new beers with enthusiasm.
COLLEEN O’MARA
Director, Brand Leadership
& Quidditch Chaser
Phillip has worked across the nation in college athletics but now is his time to shine with the pros! He’s built a playbook full of creative partnership activations (and actual football plays), but it’s his trademark puns that will hit you harder than a pulling guard on a trap play.

Heather learned what it takes to be part of a team by playing pro basketball overseas. And that also helped her decide to pursue a career in sports. At PSP, she works closely with clients, ensuring their brands are positioned for success while seeking out new opportunities. When she’s not scoring something big for her clients, she’s playing pickup at a park.
HEATHER PROWSE
Manager, Brand Leadership
& Power Forward
A former pitcher, Nate knows what it takes to grab the ball and close the game. His experience in the bullpen equips him with the finesse needed to build relationships and close sponsorship deals. Armed with a blend of humor and occasional trash talk, he’ll always refer back to Kevin Millar, saying: “Don’t let us win today!”
NATE LORENZEN
Sr. Sales Coordinator & High Cheese Thrower
When Amanda shared with her fellow West Virginians that she was moving to Houston to work for PSP, she was told two things: get insect repellent and get ready for some honky-tonk. She plays a key role in social content creation, monitoring performance for several initiatives. In her spare time, she humiliates strangers in the game of trivia. At honky-tonk bars, of course.
