About Me

I’m a creative producer and live sports broadcast professional with over 14 years of experience in live production, independent film, and creative storytelling.

I'm 37 years old, a husband, a proud dad, and a graduate of SUNY Fredonia, where I earned my Bachelor's in TV/Digital Film Production in 2011. Since then, I’ve been driven by one simple motto:

“Make the broadcast you would want to watch.”

It’s a mindset that has carried me through roles ranging from one-person departments to an Assistant Athletic Director, across Division I athletic programs and national television broadcasts.
