He's from USA Swimming, so at least he's familiar with Oly sports and the non-profit governance model.

Pretty sizable marketing background. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the ISU Championship changes we've seen over this past season are implemented by the USFS under Farrell. USA Swimming has had similar big, hyped up, LED walkouts for Trials for at least a couple of Olympic cycles now.
