Prior to that post, he was the Vice President of Sponsor and Broadcast Sales (1996-98) and the Vice President of Marketing (1992-96) at USA Gymnastics. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Davis also served as the President and Tournament Director for the RCA Tennis Championships in Indianapolis in 1998 and 1999 and was the Vice President of Marketing for the Indiana Sports<br \/>\nCorporation from 1987-1992.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;&#39;I believe that Rod is the perfect fit for USA Swimming,&#39; said Chuck Wielgus, USA Swimming Executive Director. &#39;His knowledge of Olympic sports and NGB industry, his professional experiences in sponsorship sales and television broadcasting, and his overall skill set will help lead us to the next level in our quest to better market and promote our sport.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;&#39;Additionally, his knowledge and experience working in the city of Indianapolis will be incredibly valuable in our efforts to plan, promote and stage the 2004 World Swimming Championships.&#39;&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Davis, who reportedly is very highly regarded within the television industry, will be relocating with his family to Colorado Springs and will begin his duties at USA Swimming in mid-July. <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nCheck out our featured Product !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=490&#038;iCatId=3\n\t ASCA Series - Backstroke w\/ Shubert &#038; Krayzelburg <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nCheck out our featured Product !!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/swiminfo.com\/swimshop\/shop_detail.asp?iPid=458&#038;iCatId=4\n\t  Johnny Weissmuller: Twice the Hero <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COLORADO SPRINGS, June 11.
