From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark L. Attanasio is a Los Angeles investment banker who, in September 2004, reached a deal to purchase the Milwaukee Brewers from the family of Major League Baseball (MLB) commissioner Bud Selig for US$180 million. The deal was approved by MLB at the owners' winter meeting on January 13, 2005.
He is a senior partner with the money management firm Trust Company of the West.
After growing up in New York City, Attanasio graduated from Brown University with a B.A. in 1979 and received his J.D. from Columbia Law School in 1982. He founded the Dallas investment firm Crescent Capital Partners in 1991, which was later bought by Trust Company of the West in 1995. In 2001, Attanasio joined the board of directors at the telecommunications firm Global Crossing, which filed for bankruptcy in January 2002. He resigned his position on the board shortly thereafter.
Along with Brewers Assistant General Manager Gord Ash and pitcher Ben Sheets, Attanasio is a part-owner of the Milwaukee Admirals.
Mark is the brother of television writer Paul Attanasio.
