Jim Lindenberg owns Lindy Enterprises which specializes in small business consulting and JML Holdings, a property management company of commercial and residential properties in the Lake Country area. Jim is also Co-Owner of NX Level, a well- known sports performance training facility in Waukesha. He previously owned World Class Wire and Cable which he sold in 2008. He was also the Owner and President of the Milwaukee Wave and Wave of Hope which he recently sold to Sue Black.

Jim states that he is excited about investing in Legends of the Field. I see a great team, a solid foundation, dedicated loyal employees, and a company with a great reputation. Sports is a multi-billion dollar industry and this is an amazing opportunity with incredible growth potential. Jim states that Legends will not only look at opening more stores but will also look at acquisitions within the industry to continue that growth.

Joe Palmisano, Founder of Legends, states that he is very excited to have Jim Lindenberg invest in his company. Jim Lindenberg is a well know entrepreneur and has a very successful track record of growing businesses. Jim is well respected and has a large network. I am excited about Jim leading Legends to another level and providing a strong foothold to the future. Mr. Palmisano is most excited for his loyal employees who have served him faithfully for all the years. Joe states that this transaction gives them the opportunity to be part of what he believes will soon be the largest sports memorabilia and marketing company in the United states.

Co-Owner and General Manager Jason Sarchet, son-in-law of Milwaukee Brewer great Jim Gantner, will continue to serve the company as General Manager. Jason is also eager to work with and learn from Mr. Lindenberg. There's a reason he and his companies have won over 30 awards. I am very excited about the future of Legends of the Field.
