The Chattanooga Lookouts announced Thursday that they have promoted ticket partnership director Andrew Zito to vice president. The UCF graduate joined the club as a food and beverage associate in 2012, moved into group sales a year later and assumed his director position in 2015. He now will oversee the sales staff, assist in ballpark operations and serve as the reigning Southern League champions’ liaison to the Minnesota Twins. “Andrew’s hard work and dedicaton to the Lookouts and the Chattanooga community makes him a perfect fit to help lead this team as the vice president,” president Rich Mozingo said in a team release. Said managing owner Jason Freier: “We will all continue to benefit from Andrew’s passion, talent and energy.”
