The Evansville Otters have appointed Evansville CPA Randall M. “Randy” Schulz as the new president of the Frontier League franchise.

Schulz, 59, spent 36 years with Harding, Shymanski & Company before retiring in 2015. A 1978 graduate of Ball State University, Schulz served as one of the firm’s lead construction/contractor and real estate industry specialists, focusing on business development.

An advisory board consisting of retired University of Evansville athletic director and Old National Bank executive John Stanley, Kahn Dees Donovan & Kahn attorney Ryan Schulz, local businessmen Mark Daily and Jay Altmeyer, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ executive Luke Burket will provide Schulz counsel.

“We welcome the help of Randy and the other advisory board members,” said Otters’ owner Bill Bussing. “Randy’s passion for the game, professional expertise, and reputation in the community equip him well to lead our franchise.”

“I am honored to work with the Bussing family and build on the fine tradition they have established in this community,” said Schulz. “I am excited to work with an outstanding advisory board and the community in a venue like Bosse Field and in a sport that I have loved and followed all my life.”
