This may sound cliché, but I like to think I was born to do this. Along with my writing skills, quick wit, and knowledge, I love being the eyes of radio listeners. There is a quote I am reminded of by Phil Hersh; “Baseball is the only game you can see on radio.” To further expound upon that, I enjoy carrying the weight of describing everything as it happens in front of me. Regardless of the sport, I feel at home with a headset and sitting behind a microphone. I go to another place entirely, where nothing else matters and euphoria sets in. I am running a live show, and anything can happen. That does not scare me, in fact quite the opposite. I embrace the chaos, learn from my mistakes, and emerge from the booth a stronger broadcaster.

I have close to six years of experience in radio, webcasts, on camera and interviewing, along with other additional skills. A large portion of that experience came at the collegiate level, including my time with Berry College (PBP- Football, Basketball, and Baseball). Additionally, I worked in professional baseball over the past two seasons as radio voice of the Rome Braves.
