Today's Guest: Facility Operations Manager Legends Global at Pitt- Alex Parent

He has spent over a decade making sure the lights stay on, the floors stay clean, and the game goes on — no matter what. He got his start coordinating facilities and operations at one of the most storied programs in college athletics — Syracuse University — where for nearly seven years, he kept the day-to-day humming: scheduling, renovations, fleet management, you name it.

From there, he headed to Buffalo, taking on a bigger role as Assistant AD for Facilities at D'Youville University — helping execute a $3-million facility master plan, standing up a risk management system, and running everything from the weight room to game day concessions.

Next, he spent over three years as a Facilities Manager at the University of Pittsburgh, overseeing nearly a million square feet of property and helping coordinate operations for a brand-new $75-million research building. And today? He's the Facility Operations Manager at Legends Global — running a 3,000-seat arena and sports performance center, managing engineers and custodial teams, and lending a hand at the Peterson Event Center.

From Syracuse to Buffalo to Pittsburgh, this guy has quietly kept some incredible venues running behind the scenes.
