About

I have been working in sports media since high school.

My first on-air experience and love for radio began at 90.7 WPSR, during my junior and senior years at the Southern Indiana Career and Technical Center. Over those two years, I gained basic knowledge and experience in all aspects of a radio station’s operation.

When COVID shutdowns limited fan attendance, I began broadcasting Tecumseh High School basketball. This was my first ever experience behind the mic calling games.

After graduation, I spent a year at Eastern Illinois University before transferring to the University of Southern Indiana, where I am today. I also swam collegiately for three years before concluding my career to focus on a professional life.

At USI, I am is working for 95.7 The Spin as the Sports Director and a Play-by-Play Broadcaster. I also work with the USI ESPN+ crew doing broadcasting and production work.

I work these university jobs while also freelancing with 98.5 WEOA covering local high school sports.

Below, a timeline lays out my career path and more information on what I have done.
