Before becoming a franchisee with Schooley Mitchell, Rich Bello spent his career in the sports industry in areas like ticket and sponsorship sales. However, after Bello expanded his family with two kids, he found that working the late hours and weekends required in the sports industry wasn’t conducive to spending time with his family.
