Throughout his life, J. Alton Byrd has
been leading and coaching others to reach their full potential.
When he attended Riordan High School in San Francisco, California,

championships. While completing his degree in Urban Studies
and Economics at Columbia University, Byrd was captain of
the basketball team for three years. In 1979, Byrd was named
America's Best Player under 6 feet.
Successfully mixing business with his
love of sports, Byrd left Scotland in May of 1987 to join
the world famous Manchester United Sports Organization and
played for Manchester United Basketball Club. As captain,
Alton led Manchester United to the European Cup Quarterfinals,
while also beginning a career as a stockbroker with Ashworth
Sons and Barrett, a local Manchester brokerage house. Two
years later, Byrd joined Svenska and Company in London to
become an equities trader. At the same time he joined the
Kingston Basketball Club as both player and general manager
for five years.
In 1989, Byrd transitioned his skills
into creating his own sports marketing company, Alton Byrd
Associates, a sports marketing firm, specializing in transitioning
American companies into the United Kingdom (UK). In the
following 11 years, Alton Byrd Associates would become one
of the leading marketing firms in the UK.
