Derrick Hall
Derrick Martin Hall (born February 17, 1969) is an American sports executive currently serving as the president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Hall joined the Diamondbacks in May 2005 as senior vice president and served in numerous capacities before being named president in September 2006 and adding the title of CEO in January 2009. Prior to joining the Diamondbacks, Hall served as senior vice president of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Fortune 500 company KB Home.
Hall was born in Los Angeles, California on February 17, 1969, to Larry and Annetta Hall. His father worked in the newspaper industry, which led to Derrick moving all over the United States during his childhood. He was raised in a Jewish household.
Although earning acceptance to the United States Military Academy with a nomination from U.S. Senator Harry Reid, Hall attended Arizona State University on a speech and debate scholarship. He went on to receive a bachelor's degree in broadcasting and journalism from Arizona State University, where he was named "Man of the Year" in 1991. Hall was inducted into the ASU Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communications Alumni Hall of Fame in 2002.
He later earned a master's degree from Ohio University in sports administration. In 2006, Ohio University's Sports Administration Program recognized Hall as the 25th recipient of the Charles R. Higgins Distinguished Alumnus Award. In 2012, he received an honorary Doctorate degree from the University of Phoenix and spoke at the school's convocation.
Hall spent parts of 12 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, joining the organization's Single-A Florida State League affiliate in Vero Beach, Florida, as an intern in 1992 and departed as the club's senior vice president of communications in 2004.
Hall stepped outside of baseball for employment during the 1999 season, as he hosted a morning talk show on the Dodgers' flagship station (XTRA 1150 AM), served as host of the "Dodger Game Day" pregame radio show, and worked as a weekend sports anchor at KNBC-TV (Ch. 4) in Los Angeles.
Prior to joining the D-backs, Hall made a brief stop as senior vice president of corporate communications for a Fortune 500 company, KB Home, based in Los Angeles, where he increased brand awareness.
