FOUNDER
The Pittsburgh Bullets were founded in 2011 by current CEO Marcus Robinson, a 31 year old Pittsburgh native.

A product of Pittsburgh's inner city communities Robinson was born in Hazelwood, Pa and graduated from the local Taylor Allderdice High School. Graduating in 2006' as the Class President Marcus was a highly decorated multiple sport student athlete, and peer mentor.
Due to success on the basketball court Robinson earned a full division 1 scholarship to Stony Brook University, Long Island, NY. He would later attend Clarion University in 2008. Finishing his last competitive year of collegiate basketball at Point Park University in 2010. During his stay in college Robinson studied sociology, psychology, business management, and business marketing.
After traveling the country trying out for numerous professional, and semi professional teams, Robinson concluded that he wanted to keep his talents at home in Pittsburgh. He would then later in 2011 create the Pittsburgh Bullets.
