In the Office — Michael McCullough

Michael McCullough
Executive Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer, Miami Heat

With more than 12,000 songs on his iPod, Michael McCullough decided to deck out his office in Miami's AmericanAirlines Arena with everything he's about: music, family, books and pop culture. His favorite décor is his wall of fame, where he arranges his vast collection of albums by theme and has visitors attempt to unscramble the puzzle. On this particular visit, his chosen collection was his all-time favorites. McCullough's collection is always expanding as he picks up albums when he travels and rummages through garage sales to find the best bargains. His favorite record store is The Beat in his hometown of Sacramento, where he's picked up about half of his collection.
