For the last four years, Workman has led Comcast’s West Division shared service marketing and sales operations team in Denver, Colo., to bring system, process, communication and technology support to the company’s market strategy teams and sales channels. Prior to his time in Denver, he worked for Comcast in leadership roles in Tennessee and California. Workman began his cable career with TCI in Spokane, where he served as a marketing coordinator and later as the company’s marketing manager.

Workman graduated from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in communications, where he also earned the university’s prestigious Mary Shields-Wilson Most Outstanding Graduate Award. Additionally, he is a graduate of Comcast’s Fundamentals of Leadership and Executive Leadership Forum programs.

Workman along with his wife, Jadie, and their daughters, Breanna and Bailey, are relocating to Spokane from Denver. As a family, they share a passion for outdoor recreational activities especially boating, ATVs and snowmobiles.
