About Ben Pugliesi

About ME Personally and professionally, integrity is more than a principle—it’s a promise. To teach my daughter the difference between right and wrong, I lead by example, embracing honesty, transparency, and unwavering commitment. I give 100%—every single time. As a self-driven, highly organized professional, I thrive on precision and efficiency. My greatest strength lies in listening deeply, identifying needs, crafting solutions, and delivering insights that empower my customers to make informed decisions. Whether in B2B, B2C, or TSR sales, my approach is guided by a commitment to service and results. Outside of work, I bring the same passion and discipline to my personal interests: Former collegiate soccer player, high school soccer coach, avid golfer, and happy owner of two energetic and really talkative (loud) Corgis. About UNITED SOCCER LEAGUE (USL) Sarasota Paradise is a professional soccer club competing in the United Soccer League (USL)—the largest and fastest-growing soccer organization in the United States. The USL pathway includes over 200 clubs, players (from youth to professional), and nearly games played annually across 40+ states. About SARASOTA PARADISE – we’re going PRO in 2026! Intentionally different, our logo highlights the Sabal Palmetto frond, Florida’s state tree. And our name conveys a sense of destination, aspiration, and promise, while deliberately omitting “soccer” to emphasize that our brand transcends sport. • 2023 Launch in USL League Two, awarded Best New Organization in the League • 2024 USL League Two South Florida Division Champions • 2025 USL League Two South Florida Division Champions • 2026 We’re going PRO in 2026 and moving to USL League One! Our 2026 season will offer roughly 40 games, 19 projected home games, with 14 existing teams and 7 expansion teams across 13 states. About PARTNERING IN PARADISE At Sarasota Paradise, partnerships go beyond logos and impressions. We create opportunities for our partners to connect with fans in authentic, memorable ways. When your brand is woven into the game and tied to unforgettable moments, it becomes part of the story our community celebrates. Done right, everyone wins—our partners, our fans, our community, and Sarasota Paradise.….Let’s Go Paradise.
