Okay, so here’s the deal with Michael Hughes. He’s been in the sports media game forever—like, 20 years! (That’s practically ancient, right?) He’s won 11 Emmys and worked at places like ESPN and FOX Sports (waaaay before we were even born), where he worked on shows like SportsCenter, Sunday NFL Countdown, Best Damn Sports Show Period, and FOX NFL Sunday, so yeah, dude is old.

Michael’s got mad experience, but he’s also all about bold stories with big personalities. Before running DLP, he was a head honcho at FOX Sports, where he even helped launch FOX Sports 1. He was behind some major shows like “The Herd” and “FOX Sports Live,” and he’s been producing live sports and shows for ages. With DLP, he’s been all over ESPN’s 30 for 30 series, making epic sports films like “Rodman,” “Lance,” and “Pony Excess.”

Under Michael, DLP cranks out thousands of pieces of content for Amazon’s Thursday Night Football and beyond. He’s worked with everyone: Netflix, NFL, NASCAR, MLB, you name it – plus brands like Nike, Gatorade, EA Sports, and a ton of others.

Oh, and he’s from Texas (Cowboys fan alert), but ow he lives in LA with his wife and two little dudes, coaches youth sports, and is either making pizza or chilling at the beach. He may be “old,” but he’s got a passion for sports and tech and keeps DLP running strong.
