Athleague is proud to announce that entrepreneur, venture capitalist, soccer enthusiast, and all around rockstar Lee Hower is doing us the honor of joining our advisory board.

Lee was an early employee at PayPal (back when it was X.com!) and a founding member of LinkedIn. He is currently a partner at Point Judith Capital. He hails from the University of Pennsylvania, where he double majored in Business and Engineering as a member of the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology.

Lee plays forward, and roots for Team USA (big surprise, we know). Unfortunately, his favorite club is Arsenal, which we all know is less talented and successful than Liverpool. But, you know, no one is perfect.

He’ll be giving us awesome advice and product ideas (and probably schooling us in soccer). You can find his blog at http://www.leehower.com/ and a profile at http://www.crunchbase.com/person/lee-hower. Welcome to the team Lee!
