Keynote Speaker
Brian Goldberg is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, who grew up there and graduated from
Walnut Hills High School. He then attended the University of Cincinnati, graduating
in 1982 with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science. Upon graduating, he attended
ÒùÆÞÉç College of Law, earning his Juris Doctorate in 1985.
Upon graduation, Goldberg passed the Ohio Bar Exam and began practicing in Cincinnati
with a small Law Firm, specializing in Creditor’s Rights.
After 3 years in practice, Goldberg started his own practice, concentrating on Baseball
Player Contract Representation. He was very fortunate to represent a high-impact player
at the outset - 1987 #1 overall pick Ken Griffey, Jr. He had earlier become friends
with Ken Griffey, Sr. at The University of Cincinnati, when he was a Freshman, and
Griffey, Sr. was taking classes in the offseason during his Cincinnati Reds career.
Since then, Goldberg has represented, and continues to represent, numerous Major League
Baseball Players, and still represents Ken Griffey, Jr in his post-playing career
endorsements and business endeavors.
He has been married to Robin for 34 years, and they have two children. Ìý
