Hank became CEO after the merger of Sportvision and Ignite Sports, a company which he founded. This may sound somewhat circular but prior to Ignite, he co-founded Real Fans Sports Network which was sold to AOL in 1997. Hank subsequently spun the company out from AOL to form Ignite again. Mike was previously COO for Ignite Sports and Director of Sears Online for Sears Roebuck & Co.
