Brian Jamros has served as President of the Sioux Falls Canaries since August 2022, bringing extensive experience in athletics administration and a bold vision for the future of the franchise.

Under Jamros’ leadership, the Canaries have reached historic milestones on the field. The team has made the playoffs three consecutive seasons (2023–2025), a first in franchise history, and advanced to the Miles Wolff Cup Final in 2025, their first appearance since 2010. The Birds have recorded three straight 50+ win seasons and earned their first playoff victory in over a decade.

Off the field, Jamros has led the organization’s non-baseball initiatives, highlighted by the launch of a new festival and the upcoming debut of the Banana Ball World Tour in South Dakota in August 2026. His commitment to enhancing the fan experience and transforming The Birdcage into a community hub has resulted in stadium upgrades, including new upper-level seating and improved amenities. These efforts have helped drive attendance, strengthen the Canaries brand, and expand community events.

Jamros resides in the Sioux Falls area with his wife, Ashley, and their two daughters, Grace and Olivia.

Duell Higbe enters his 14th season with the Sioux Falls Canaries and tenth as General Manager, having heroically risen through the organization since joining in 2013 as a stadium operations intern. A native of Austin, Minnesota, he earned his bachelor’s degree in Sport Management (with a minor in Exercise Science) from Mayville State University.

Since taking the helm in the front office, Higbe has helped guide the organization through a dramatic turnaround: under his leadership, the Canaries achieved three consecutive playoff appearances (2023–2025) — a first in franchise history. In the 2025 season, he oversaw a club that clinched a playoff berth for the third straight year and advanced to the franchise’s first appearance in the Miles Wolff Cup Final since 2010.

Beyond the wins and milestones, Higbe focuses on building a culture of consistency, professional operations, and deep community engagement. Off the field, he and his team have emphasized enhancing the fan experience at “The Birdcage,” strengthening local partnerships, and reinforcing the Canaries as a cornerstone of the Sioux Falls sports landscape.

Outside work, Duell and his wife Kate enjoy family time with their two children, Lennon and Harrison. He’s also an outdoor enthusiast who keeps up his fitness in the gym and takes every chance to enjoy the region's natural beauty.

Entering her sixth season with the Sioux Falls Canaries and fifth as a full-time staff member, Ali Lindner has continued to take on expanded responsibilities since joining the organization in 2021 as a game day intern.

A Sioux Falls native, Lindner returned home after earning her bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, where she was also a member of the Golden Gophers softball team and made an appearance in the Women’s College World Series during her freshman year.

Since joining the Canaries full-time, Lindner has taken on a key leadership role within the front office, overseeing marketing, social media, game day entertainment, and the team’s internship program. Her focus on fan engagement and in-game experience has helped elevate the atmosphere at The Birdcage, creating memorable moments for fans of all ages.

Outside of work, Ali enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, listening to music, and golfing.

Brian began his career with the Sioux Falls Canaries right after college, and after many years, he's excited to return as the Director of Food and Beverage. With extensive experience in the family entertainment industry, Brian is eager to apply his knowledge to enhance the fan experience on game days. Originally from Bloomington, MN, he moved to Sioux Falls to attend Augustana University and compete on the Track and Field Team. He later graduated from the University of Sioux Falls with a degree in Business Management and has spent nearly 30 years living and contributing to the community.

Outside of work, Brian enjoys quality time with his wife Carrie and their two daughters, Dylan and Bergen. He’s a fan of golf, enjoys traveling, trying new food and restaurants, loves watching the Minnesota Vikings, and can often be found grilling or smoking up something delicious at home.

Ryan joined the Canaries as an intern for the 2023 season and was promoted to Baseball Operations Assistant and Clubhouse Manager in 2024. After spending two years in this position he now enters into the sales realm as the Baseball Operations Assistant & Ticket Sales Associate. Ryan will support the sales team and the General Manager throughout the year, with a primary focus on managing both the home and visiting clubhouses.

Ryan played baseball for five years at Concordia University St. Paul, earning a degree in Sports Management with a minor in Coaching. He later completed his master's in Coaching and Athletic Administration.

Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with his wife, Abby, and playing golf in his free time.

Sterling has been a familiar face to the team, having worked part-time with the organization since 2022. In his role, he will focus on stadium maintenance and upkeep throughout the Canaries season.

A graduate of Southeast Technical College with a degree in Sports and Turf Management, Sterling enjoys golfing and spending time with friends and family when he's off the clock.

Peep is back for his 11th season with the Canaries after nesting with Cagey down South over the winter. Peep couldn't wait to get back to cheer on the Canaries and flap around the birdcage making people laugh.

Giving feathery hugs and pecks on the cheek, taking pictures with the fans, and giving high fives are what he does best!

He can also shake his tail feather...and the splits and the worm are just the beginning of his dance moves!

If you see Peep flying by the Peep mobile or hover board, you might want to step out of the way - he is a bird after all!

Cagey and Peep have hatched some fun plants for this summer - you never know what these cracked up Birds will be up to.
