Sean Conner enters his second season as director of ticket operations.

Conner joined the Horned Frogs after serving the last two years as assistant athletics director for ticket operations at the University of Houston. Conner previously was employed four years as assistant ticket manager at Texas A&M and the 12th Man Foundation.

"We are pleased to have someone of Sean's qualifications to lead our ticket operations," TCU associate athletics director for external operations Scott Kull said. "Sean understands TCU's expectation for excellence in customer service and forward thinking in developing technologies."

Upon graduating from Texas A&M in 1994, Conner worked three years as season ticket coordinator and customer services supervisor for the Texas Rangers. He then became credentials coordinator for the Texas Motor Speedway.

A native of Dallas, Conner served three years in the U.S. Army. He was part of U.S. forces in Operation Desert Shield/Storm/Provide Comfort. Following his honorable discharge, he went on to earn his bachelor's degree from Texas A&M.

Conner and his wife, Trudy, have three children: Shannon, Brayden and Meaghan.
