MY STORY...
I’ve been calling games as a professional since 2013, and I’ve just finished my 12th year as the voice of an NCAA Division I basketball program.
Beyond play-by-play broadcasting, I am a PA Announcer for both NCFC (USL Championship League) and Wake Forest Athletics. I’ve also run a successful video production company since 2018.
My broadcasting career has taken me to three NCAA tournaments and some of the world’s premier college sports venues. I’ve had the opportunity to be on the sidelines for some truly incredible games and moments. But easily, the best part is the friendships I’ve built and the people I’ve met along the way, from coaches to players to fellow broadcasters. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, and I look forward to whatever the future holds!
