A Bit About Me

The opportunity to participate in live TV broadcasts and tell the stories of incredible athletes was something I couldn’t pass up. More than anything, CSBN gave me hands-on experience in pursuing my biggest passion—sports broadcasting. From the beginning, it provided a space where I could fail, learn, and grow. Every mistake became a valuable lesson, and every rep—good or bad—was a step toward becoming better. That’s the essence of this industry.

One of my favorite memories was Club Fest 2022, where I shook hundreds of students’ hands, sharing the excitement of CSBN and encouraging them to join this incredible, free opportunity. I learned that in broadcasting, the little things matter—like pronouncing names correctly. It’s everyone’s favorite word, and getting it right shows respect. I made it a point to speak with athletes, coaches, and former broadcasters to elevate every production. I approached each gameday and interview like I was already a professional, because that’s the mindset this industry demands.

I recently left my job in real estate to chase my dream in sports media. Now, I’m focused on growing my personal brand, posting daily football content—from live reactions and game breakdowns to news and predictions. My goal is simple: help people learn something or smile every time they come across my content. Ultimately, I want to become one of the biggest names in the football media space.
