Shaun Higgins (born October 17, 1978 in Redlands, California) is a professional soccer agent and a retired American soccer player. He is currently President and CEO of PRO Football Consultants, a firm he founded that represents professional soccer players in the United States, Europe, and Mexico.

Career

College and amateur

Higgins played college soccer at California State University, Fullerton from 1996 to 2000, and four seasons with Orange County Blue Star in the USL Premier Development League, helping them to the PDL national semi-finals in 2004 and 2006.

Professional

Higgins signed with the Portland Timbers in the USL First Division in 2005, playing 16 games (934 minutes) in his rookie season. He scored two goals during the season, both against Northwest rivals the Seattle Sounders, was named to the USL First Division Team of the Week for Week 18.

Higgins did not re-sign with the Timbers in 2006, and instead played one more campaign in the USL Premier Development League with Orange County Blue Star while training with Chivas USA’s reserve team, appearing in six MLS Reserve Division games without seeing any first-team action.

In 2007, Higgins rejoined the Timbers and was mostly in the starting line-up. Higgins played primarily at left midfield, but was known as a utility player who can also fill in as outside defender. He retired from the Timbers on December 7, 2009, having played 56 games and scored two goals during his three years with the team.

Professional Career

Higgins founded PRO Football Consultants (PRO FC) in December 2009. Higgins turned his firm into one of the premier soccer agencies in the United States, with a staff of former professional soccer players. He represents the #1 goalscorer in MLS history Chris Wondolowski, and has represented top five goalscorer in MLS history Kei Kamara, #1 defender in MLS history Chad Marshall, #1 holding midfielder in MLS history Osvaldo Alonso, 2018 MLS Defender of the Year Aaron Long, and multiple US Men’s National Team and US Youth National Team players. Higgins has completed multiple transfers to and from the English Premier League, English Championship, German Bundesliga, and Danish Superliga.

In 2013, Higgins represented Robbie Rogers, in what was the first openly gay male athlete contract in North American major sports. This was later detailed in Rogers’s book, Coming Out to Play.

PRO Football Consultants has since expanded into Mexico with Claudio Suarez (“El Emperador”), the all-time leader in appearances for the Mexican National Team. The company has also started a firm in Denmark with John Jensen, who famously scored the game-winning goal for Denmark in the final of the 1992 European Championships versus Germany.

Marc Mezvinsky’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Marc Mezvinsky net worth: Marc Mezvinsky is an investment banker who has a net worth of $15 million. Marc Mezvinsky earned his net worth as an investment banker at the New York-based firm Goldman Sachs and while working at the New York hedge fund company, 3G Capital. Mezvinsky was born December 15, 1977, to Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, who would later become a Pennsylvania Democratic Congresswoman, and former Iowa Democratic Congressman, Edward Mezvinsky. He grew up in a 15-room home in Philadelphia’s tony Main Line neighborhood in a blended family that contained 11 children, a mix of both stepchildren and adopted children of the Mezvinskys. He was raised in the Conservative Jewish family and was surrounded by politics growing up. The Clintons and Mezvinskys were family friends in the 1990s and their children met on a weekend Democratic political retreat in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Mezvinsky attended Stanford and majored in finance; he was by all accounts a serious student. Mezvinsky and Chelsea Clinton were close friends while he was attending Stanford and it remains unclear if the couple’s relationship started at Stanford before they formerly announced that they were a together in 2005. In 2008, during the financial crisis, he purchased a 2,000 square foot apartment on Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron district of Manhattan for $3.8 million. He toured the apartment with his then girlfriend, Chelsea Clinton, and decided on that property after looking at a host of properties in the area. The couple became engaged over Thanksgiving weekend in 2009 and after the honeymoon, they settled in New York City’s Gramercy Park neighborhood. In 2010, he married Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former U.S. President, Bill Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State, HillaryRodham Clinton. They were married in an interfaith ceremony (Mezvinsky is Jewish and Clinton is Methodist) in Rhinebeck, New York and the wedding was held at Astor Courts, an estate overlooking the Hudson River, at the home of Kathleen Hammer, who was once a producer at Oxygen Media. In March of 2013 they purchased a $10.5 million condominium on Madison Square Park in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. On April 17, 2014, Clinton announced at a New York forum that she and Marc were expecting their first child.
