Todd Ramasar is the founder of Life Sports Media and Entertainment, a company seamlessly melding sports, culture, and technology. He is a seasoned NBPA Certified Contract advisor and player agent, who is widely recognized for his driven management style, innovative marketing ideas, and his keen ability to anticipate, envision and conceptualize, the next big thing in sports and entertainment. Todd began his career in athletic talent representation at the age of 19, as an intern for Tellem and Associates, and then SFX Sports. In 2003 he translated his business experience, first-hand knowledge, and entrepreneurial spirit to form Life Sports Management, taking over as the agent of his former teammate, and NBA all-star Baron Davis. Within five years, Todd merged Life Sports with BDA Sports Management, expanding the existing client base, increasing overall revenue, and introducing sports science solutions, still employed today. At BDA, as Vice President of Player Representation, Todd managed athlete recruitment and contracts, while providing clients with strategic guidance and leadership designed to maximize their potential.

Over his career, Todd has secured and negotiated contracts and endorsements, resulting in over $200 million for his players. His extensive track record with the NBA and corporate America creates win-win relationships with teams, corporations, and his clients, including multi-year deals with international brands including Vitamin Water, Reebok, Jenny Craig, Li-Ning and EA Sports; the list goes on. In 2012, Todd co-founded China Branding Group (Fans Tang).
