Mark Packer....better known as "The Packman"...has been working in the sports world for nearly 25 years - either as a Radio/TV broadcaster, or in some business capacity.

"Packman" is probably best known as the radio host of the syndicated "PrimeTime with the Packman" show, which aired in the Carolinas from 1997-2010. The show was the most listened-to sports radio show in the Carolinas, where he won various "Best Of" awards.

Pack decided to leave the program to pursue and control his own sports and broadcasting businesses, which include new radio and television shows in addition to Southern Fried Football™ and other marketing opportunities.

His entrepreneurial flair is one thing that has always made "The Packman" unique in the industry. The Southern Fried Football™ Tour and his ability to syndicate his own programs are just some of the examples of how he created additional revenue streams and broadcast opportunities.

Mark Packer has appeared on numerous national radio shows such as ESPN, Sporting News Radio and Fox Sports Radio. In January of 2011, Pack added to his national exposure by joining Sirius XM Radio as a rotating host of "College Basketball Today" on College Sports Nation (Sirius 122 / XM 143).

In addition to the radio business, Pack has also hosted his own television shows, too. He's currently providing the daily sports commentaries on the 10 o'clock news on WMYT in Charlotte, and he's been doing that since 2004.

Packman hosted the Southern Fried Sports Show, along with the Southern Fried Football™ Show. His television credits include ESPN's "Outside the Lines", ESPN News, Fox Sports and even Court TV.

Due to his love of college football, Packman coined the phrase "Southern Fried Football"™, and turned it into a business. The term and logo are trademarked and the proud property of "The Packman".

Since 1998, Pack has taken his Southern Fried Football™ Tour around the South with his bevy of advertisers and loyal followers. The Tour, website, advertisers, media partners, and radio show have turned a pet project into a profitable company. If you want to know more, log onto www.southernfriedfootball.com.

Before hosting "PrimeTime with the Packman"....Mark was in charge of the radio and tv networks at Clemson University and the University of Maryland. In addition, he was a broadcast consultant for LSU. He later moved to Charlotte, NC where he formed his sports marketing company, Time-Out Sports.

"Packman" is a native of Winston-Salem, N.C. and received a BA degree in economics from Clemson University. Despite growing up in the South, he has a unique appreciation for the Bay Area which includes a total devotion to his favorite team, the San Francisco Giants. Needless to say, Pack is still celebrating the Giants' 2010 World Series championship.

So, there you have it.....entrepreneur, broadcaster, salesman, businessman....and most importantly....happily married to Amie, with two great young daughters (G.G. and Emerson).
