About
I have a passion for bringing the joy of sports into the lives of others.
I use my knowledge of sports and my story telling abilities to share my passion for the intricacies of sports with others. Known for play-by-play and sports broadcasting, I bring listeners into the stadium so they can feel as if they are a part of the game. Using thoroughly researched stories and notable facts, I add extra perspective and insight to the listening or viewing experience, by providing extra knowledge and impact to every moment. Through my research, passion and excitement, I am able to share experiences with those not around me.
