2023 Ravens Fan of the Year Nominee

Michael Veliuona

Dr. Michael Veliuona, MD, also known around Baltimore as the “Bead Guy”, has been a long-time PSL Owner and dedicated fan since 2007. He attends each Ravens game decked out in Ravens gear with an abundance of beads around his neck as his staple piece. Michael not only comes to every game with countless Ravens beads (as part of his weekly uniform), but also brings enough to hand out to fans and strangers around Baltimore as he tailgates and, of course, around the Club Level. He starts the day with many and usually goes home with none!

He is a respected medical doctor of 17 years, located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania but is a Baltimore native. When he is not at the hospital caring for his patients, he makes the 170-mile round trip to spend his weekends at The Bank, cheering on his favorite team and occasionally a Ravens away game.
