Robinson joins MLS crew
Tuesday, June 5, 2018 by Jo Clifton
Kelan Robinson started his city career in the office of Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole and then joined the staff of Council Member Bill Spelman. After that, he worked for a while for Council Member Ann Kitchen before joining Michele Haussmann at her firm, Land Use Solutions. Then Robinson joined the law firm of Armbrust & Brown, working with Richard Suttle, as a land use specialist. Suttle is one of the lobbyists representing Precourt Sports Ventures, the owner of the Major League Soccer team Columbus Crew. Precourt, of course, is doing its best to relocate to Austin, as everybody knows. Robinson told the Austin Monitor on Monday that he believes they will make it here. In fact, Robinson has a brand-new business card showing that he is doing community affairs and special projects for the company.
