If you got to this page you’re probably already asking yourself that question. I guess I should try and answer it (not that it’ll familiarize you with me, but still…)
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Multimedia Arts from Duquesne University. I won a TELLY Award in 2008 as a sports anchor, reporter and producer. That’s pretty much my limit as far as how much I take myself seriously when it comes to my career.
I currently work in several different capacities as a sports journalist in print, television and radio. I work in production at WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh for Channel 4 Action Sports and High School Playbook, as well as writing feature stories and game recaps for the sports page at WTAE.com.
I am also a guest co-host and fill-in host at TribLIVE Radio, currently featured with Ken Laird and Guy Junker Tuesday mornings at 9 AM at sportstalk.TribLive.com.
When I have time left over I am a freelance sports writer for Patch.com, having covered high school sports for several different communities in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
So far in my career I’ve covered several high school and college sports, Major League Baseball, the National Football League and the National Hockey League, both on a day-to-day basis and in special capacities.
I have had one-on-one interviews with Olympic medalists, Heisman trophy winners, Hall of Famers and a few popular broadcasting icons, all experiences that I still relish and cherish like I would if I were still in my teens.
I’m probably as close as you can come to the edge of being a rational sports junkie (if such a thing even exists). Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of being around sports for a living, so one day I made the crazy decision to become a sportscaster.
That adventure is continuing as you read this mixture of my experiences during my career and occasional ramblings or rantings about whatever’s on my mind in the sporting world.
Hopefully, when it’s all said and done, I’ll have a hell of a story to tell.
