Timeline
Payne left DC United for Toronto FC in November 2012. He served as club president and general manager until being fired in September 2013.
In 2001, Payne joined Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) as senior vice president and managing director of AEG Soccer, which, during his tenure, oversaw six MLS teams, including the Los Angeles Galaxy, Colorado Rapids, Chicago Fire, D.C. United, MetroStars and San Jose Earthquakes. Payne also oversaw all other AEG soccer activities until his decision to return to D.C. United in 2004 as president and CEO.
In the fall of 1994, Payne, as president of SUSAP, began to work with Alan Rothenberg and a charter group of investors on the creation of Major League Soccer (MLS). Payne put together the original investment group for D.C.

After careers as an award-winning radio journalist in New York City and as a senior resort marketing and special events executive in Vail, CO, Payne became the national administrator of the United States Soccer Federation in 1989. In the fall of 1990, he was named deputy executive director and director of marketing for the federation.
