Tamara Ketler founded TMK Sports and Entertainment in 2004. Already well known in the sports and event marketing industry, Ms. Ketler was approached by the Nutmeg State Games to develop sponsorship sales, the statewide public relations campaign, and marketing for the 2004 Games. She saw this as an opportunity to establish her own company, and make her individual mark in the industry. Tamara's expertise in developing strategic partnerships across a wide range of industries is a driving force behind the success of TMK Sports and Entertainment.

Prior to establishing TMK Sports and Entertainment, Tamara spent 3 years as the Director of Marketing and Sponsorship Sales for the New York Junior Tennis League and the Sports & Arts in Schools Foundation, where she raised over one and a half million dollars to benefit thousands of New York City children and families. From 1996 to 2001, Tamara worked for the Untied States Tennis Association Eastern Section as the Director of Adult Programs in New York City. In that position, she developed many creative and effective tools to better promote and develop tennis. She was also the first Program Director for NBC's Health and Fitness Center in New York City where she developed and marketed award-winning wellness programs for NBC News, Sports and Entertainment division employees. Membership at the NBC Fitness Center grew to 900 and reached 100% capacity with a waiting list in less than a year.

Tamara holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington and a Master of Science in Education from Baylor University, Waco, Texas. She resides in Greenwich, Connecticut.
