To whom it my concern For as long as I can remember, sports have been my passion. As a kid playing ball with my brothers and dad in the yard, to playing baseball on my high school team, to vending sodas at Yankee Stadium at 16 (and witnessing four World Series titles live), I always loved being around sports. After graduating from college, I watched my friends all line up corporate jobs in fields they were less than thrilled with... And I vowed not to let that be me. I have nearly two decades of experience in various areas of sports and entertainment, from interning for an English soccer club, to working with NFL and Arena Football teams doing anything from PR, Media Relations, Front Office Operations, and contract signings to writing for local periodicals, producing local and national radio programs, Executive Producing TV simulcasts as well as digital streaming shows, booking guests, managing on-air talent and control room crews, and editing video and audio. More recently, I’ve become quite adept at running live video streams, editing videos and images for the various social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube), using AI for video, imaging, and audio to garner millions of views while growing our brands across platforms. Over the past few years, I’ve adapted my experience in TV and Radio to learning and thriving in the new digital medium. At this point in my career, I have tried my hand in virtually every aspect of the sports media industry. However, I've always been one to enjoy new challenges. Much like in sports, if you're not upgrading your roster and learning new skills, you'll fall behind everyone else that is. And now, I'm excited to find what my next step will be both professionally and personally; my next challenge; my next passion. I'm dedicated, loyal, organized, creative, and I like to believe, a highly skilled sports media producer who would be an asset in any opportunity. Maybe this is that opportunity.
