Mr. Molenkamp has a proven track record of driving business results through innovative campaigns and building high-performance teams. Mr. Molenkamp brings a wide variety of skill sets, including brand building, athlete and entertainment management, social media content activation, photography and digital production.

Mr. Molenkamp created Triumph United, a brand that was licensed to Revgear Sports in 2011. He also has an active advisory engagement with Monster Energy.
