Jim Fossell is a lifelong St. Louis area resident and an avid fan of indoor soccer dating back to the original Steamers in the 1980’s.

Jim’s experience includes doing public relations and marketing work for professional wrestling, indoor soccer, small businesses and numerous elected officials throughout the St. Louis area.

When it was announced that the World Indoor Soccer League had awarded a franchise to the Steamers to play at the Family Arena starting in 2000, Jim built his first website. “St. Louis Steamers – An Unofficial Website by Jim Fossell” grew to become a prominent site, earning accolades from players and fans alike.

When new owners took over the franchise prior to the 2004-05 season, one of them visited Jim’s unofficial website and was impressed with what he saw. That eventually led to Fossell joining the Steamers front office as webmaster of the team’s official website in December 2004. Jim’s duties were later expanded to include writing press releases, creating graphics for promotional materials, and authoring the “View from the Stands” column.

When the current Ambush franchise was announced in the summer of 2013, Jim joined the staff. He said, “I am truly honored to be part of the Ambush franchise and looking forward to contribute to the club’s success.” The 2018-19 season is Jim’s sixth with the Ambush and eighth in professional indoor soccer. When not working, Jim enjoys spending time with family and friends, playing with his Collie named Buddy, bowling, and being a television junkie including Live PD and The Walking Dead.
