Executive profile at PFR

A native of Canada, Poulus earned law degrees from both the University of British Columbia and the London School of Economics.[1] He was a longtime associate of Edgar Kaiser Jr., and was named to the Denver Broncos board of directors when Kaiser purchased the team in 1981. He gradually took over multiple positions of general manager Grady Alderman, and Poulus was named vice president and general manager of the team on December 3, 1982.[2] He assumed the positions on January 1, 1983, and helped the team achieve a playoff berth that year.[3] Edgar Kaiser sold the team in the following year to Pat Bowlen, which led to Poulus quitting in July 1984.[4]
