Brian Grieper established his own professional sports management company, GPR Sports Management Inc., in 1998 during his second year of law school at the University of Miami. Brian later partnered with Paragon Sports International in order to enhance his resources and work with a talented team of professionals. He has represented over 200 professional baseball players worldwide in his career.

He develops personal relationships with clients through trust and loyalty.”
Utilizing his extensive knowledge of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, salary arbitration system and NCAA rules and regulations, Brian has negotiated and carefully crafted contracts with MLB teams for drafted players, rookies and veterans; presented cases to MLB’s arbitration panel on behalf of his clients; and has assisted players and their families through the entire draft selection process.
