Front Office Staff

Larry Gill serves as the inaugural General Manager of the Meridian Blues, bringing strong local roots, professional leadership experience, and a deep commitment to community engagement as the franchise launches its debut season in the Mid America League.

A Meridian native, Gill is a graduate of Meridian High School, Meridian Community College, and Mississippi State University’s Meridian Campus, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree. His lifelong ties to the community position him to lead the Blues with both pride and purpose.

Gill previously spent six years licensed in the insurance industry, working directly with individuals and families in a customer-focused, service-driven role. His relationship-based approach and attention to detail now translate into building a first-class experience for Blues fans, sponsors, and community partners.
