ABOUT
I always tell people I “stumbled” into broadcasting and sports media. I received an email, while at college, asking for anyone that was interested in providing the radio play-by-play for the UW-River Falls women’s basketball games. To this day, I don’t know what possessed me to say I’d do it. That decision became a turning point in my life. I had never aspired or even really entertained the thought of calling games. I quickly realized that the highlight of each week was when I got the chance to put on the headset.
Since that fateful day, I have provided the play-by-play for almost 1,700 games over 16 years.
​
After honing my craft for five years as the lead basketball broadcaster and two as the lead football broadcaster at my college radio station, I was offered a job in Jamestown, ND. Over the next nine years, I lead one of the largest sports departments in the state and handled the play-by-play for the University of Jamestown and Jamestown High School.
​
Since leaving North Dakota, I have joined the St. Paul Saints broadcast team and taken over as the Voice of St. Cloud State Basketball. I continue to freelance in the Twin Cities, picking up broadcasts for NSPN.tv, TJ Broadcast Services, Game Time Media, and North Metro TV.
​
One of my greatest strengths lies in building meaningful connections with coaches, athletes, fans, parents, and fellow media professionals. I possess a unique ability to relate to a wide range of individuals, a skill that has proven invaluable not just in my personal life, but also in broadcasting.
​
This job has not only provided so many incredible opportunities, but also introduced me to many people that I am lucky to call friends. I mean it when I say, the relationships I've created along the way have been my favorite part.
​
I have been fortunate to cover many successful teams and along with that comes a lot of big game experience.
