Following his undergraduate studies, Blasi earned a Juris Doctor from Western State University College of Law and completed a visiting year at the University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law, where he focused on intellectual property law. He is a registered U.S. Patent Attorney and later earned his MBA from the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University.
Since 2007, Blasi has built a successful career in the intellectual property and scientific information and technology industries, serving in a variety of client-facing sales roles. His analytical background, strategic mindset, and leadership experience complement his coaching philosophy and commitment to developing student-athletes on and off the golf course.
