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.

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.
