Carlsbad, Calif. - Connexions Sports & Entertainment announced today that Supercross/Motocross rider Jason Anderson has signed with the agency for exclusive management and marketing representation.
Turning pro in 2011, the high-profile rookie will race the East Coast Lites Series of the Monster Energy Supercross Championships as well as the Lites class of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championships for the Rockstar Energy Suzuki team. Anderson has won 72 amateur titles, as well as the 2010 MX Horizon Award which is given to the top amateur with promise for a successful professional career.
“We’re thrilled to have Jason as a client” said Sal Orofino, Vice President, Athlete Management for Connexions, “Jason shows such great promise for an outstanding professional career, and we’re excited to have the privilege of working with such a bright young star.”
