David Kerr is the Assistant General Manager for the Mississippi Mud Monsters — which basically means if it happens at Trustmark Park, there’s a decent chance he’s had a hand in it (or at least gotten roped into it). A native of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, David has spent nearly two decades in professional baseball — working everywhere from Arkansas to Indiana to Mississippi — before helping launch the Mud Monsters as part of the team’s very first front office.

Before baseball came calling, David Kerr worked in telecom and retail management, honing the kind of people-first, figure-it-out-on-the-fly skills that minor league baseball demands. He’s a designer, a marketer, a storyteller, and someone who firmly believes there’s no such thing as “not my job” when it comes to making magic at the ballpark.

He’s a world champion collegiate debater, a Kentucky Colonel, an Arkansas Traveler, and a past honoree of Rankin County’s 40 Under 40 — though around here, he’s mostly just the guy with a Pepsi Zero Sugar from the Pearson Road 76 station, trying to keep all the plates spinning.

Deeply invested in the Pearl community he now calls home, David serves on the boards of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club of Pearl, and Main Street Pearl. He believes minor league baseball works best when it feels like it belongs to its people — and he’s proud to help build that here, monster by monster.

When he’s not at the ballpark, you’ll probably find David road-tripping with his wife, Holly, or tracking down his next great meal — he’s visited over 100 Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives locations (and counting). He believes in good baseball, bad puns, and the power of building something that belongs to its community — monsters and all.
