James J. Murray IV

Jim Murray has established himself as a talented individual with a comprehensive understanding of the athlete representation and marketing business.

Jim’s first experience in working with Randy and Alan Hendricks was as a Marketing Manager with SFX Sports Group. As an integral member of the Talent Marketing division, Jim successfully negotiated numerous multi-level marketing partnerships on a local, regional, and national scope for professional athletes including Roger Clemens, Jerry Rice, Jason Giambi, Trent Green, Andy Roddick and Barry Larkin.

While working in talent marketing, Jim began to focus on baseball player marketing and earned the attention of the Hendricks brothers. At the behest of Randy, the then CEO of the SFX Baseball Group, Jim was transferred from the Sports Group to the Baseball Group to focus solely on the marketing and servicing of SFX Baseball clients. Jim utilized this opportunity to work closely with some of the best players in baseball, while enhancing his relationships with key decision makers of numerous companies and advertising agencies. Jim also developed strong ties with personnel at the highest levels of all baseball affiliated equipment and trading card companies.

Following the conclusion of their management contracts with SFX Baseball in late 2003, Randy and Alan re-established Hendricks Sports Management as a boutique baseball agency and gave Jim the opportunity to join their new endeavor. Jim jumped at the chance and has since been working directly under Randy and Alan as an agent specializing in the servicing and marketing of all HSM clients.

Jim began his career in sports with the Allentown Ambassadors Professional Baseball Club of the independent Northern League while still in college. Jim was involved with all aspects of the organization, including assisting the general manager, negotiating corporate sponsorships, managing ticket sales and creating marketing initiatives.

Jim also worked for five years with the NFL and NFL Charities on the organization and management of the annual Super Bowl Charity Golf Tournament.

Jim is a Certified Player Agent with the Major League Baseball Players Association.

Jim received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania where he was a member of both the football and baseball teams until he suffered a knee injury.

Jim is a native of Nutley, New Jersey and currently resides in Hoboken, New Jersey while splitting time between New York and Houston.
