DOWNLOAD MY RESUME

Welcome to my website! It’s great to have you here. Let me introduce myself – I am a seasoned sports broadcaster with years of experience under my belt. I have had the privilege of being the radio play-by-play voice for North Dakota State University Bison football and men’s basketball, as well as Sam Houston Bearkats football, men’s basketball, and baseball.

Currently, I am a freelance sports broadcaster. I am also a co-founder of SHN Sports, a platform dedicated to teaching and training aspiring broadcasters. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise with others who share my love for sports broadcasting.

In the past, I have worked as a Sports Director for various radio stations, where I was responsible for producing daily sports segments, conducting interviews, hosting talk shows, managing social media accounts, and editing audio and video. I have honed my skills and developed a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every project I work on meets the highest standards of quality.

I am a proud Rotarian since 2006. I believe that service above self is our calling in life.

I am thrilled to be able to share my experiences and insights with you through this website. Whether you’re a fellow broadcaster, a sports enthusiast, or simply curious about the world of sports broadcasting, I hope you find my website informative and engaging. So, take a look around, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to work together. Thank you for visiting!
