Dean A. Crescenzi - Founder & CEO
Dean is an award-nominated television producer, writer, and development executive with over 20 years of experience scaling the walls of Hollywood.  With an extensive list of credits that includes America’s Funniest Home Videos, Maximum Drive, Sherman Oaks, JJ The Jet Plane, and Unacceptable Behavior, Dean has worked with such recognizable names as Vin Di Bona, Dick Clark, and Chris Bearde among countless others.  Through his years of developing and pitching high-quality shows to studio and network executives, Dean saw the difficulty that even established producers faced when trying to sell shows to “old Hollywood.”  The traditional system screamed of inefficiency.  Dean recognized this challenge as an ideal opportunity to change the industry, and as a result, iBallz was born. 

Dean lives in the San Fernando Valley with his wife, and two children.
Ron De Blasio - Co-founder & COO 
Ron brings vast amounts of experience to the iBallz team after years working in entertainment as an agent, talent manager, and TV Producer. Beginning his career in the mailroom at the William Morris Agency, Ron rose quickly through the ranks to become an agent in the Literary and Television department working alongside future moguls like David Geffen and Barry Diller. Over the years, Ron managed a veritable all-star lineup of comedic talent, including Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Bill Cosby, Freddie Prinze, and most recently George Lopez. Ron also managed personal appearances for a number of clients in the music business such as Donna Summer, Barry White, X, Kool & The Gang, The Gap Band, Lee Rittenour, Berlin and Taj Mahal, among others. As a veteran of the traditional Hollywood system, Ron saw the inevitable downfall of businesses and artists not quick to embrace the shift to new technologies. He helped launch iBallz to prepare for this shift.
Danny Ohman - Senior Director of Business Development
