Prior to founding JMI Sports, Judson served the San Diego Padres organization for nearly ten years. He was the first individual hired by the Padres dedicated solely to the new Ballpark Project in 1996. Judson was named Vice President of Development in 2001 and saw the project through to completion for the opening of PETCO Park in 2004. Subsequently, he became the Executive Vice President of External Affairs overseeing the club’s Ballpark Event Sales department and the Community Relations department. Judson currently serves on the San Diego Padres’ Board of Directors.


A former professional baseball player with the Philadelphia Phillies organization, Judson brought a valuable perspective to the Padres’ Ballpark development team. Judson was instrumental in the success of PETCO Park and was involved in virtually every element of its development, including: the formation of the design and development teams; planning of the new Ballpark District; garnering political support and voter approval; developing a parking structure and transportation strategy; and overseeing all phases of design and construction of the Ballpark itself.


A graduate of University of California, San Diego with a degree in Economics, Judson earned his Masters of Business Administration from San Diego State University.  Judson currently serves as the Immediate Past Chair of the Downtown San Diego Partnership and as a member of the UCSD Athletics Board and the Triton Athletic Associates Board.
