I have been around sports ever since I was a child. My grandfather pitched at the AA level in baseball and my father was a high school football coach. I have a passion for all things regarding sports. I have dedicated my college career doing everything I can to help develop my skills so I can share my opinions and knowledge with the world.
I have worked tirelessly at every level. I graduated high school with high honors and I have made the Dean’s list for IUP the last four semesters. I dedicate myself in everything I do. I came into college with the ambition of going into business management; however, my passions had different plans for my collegiate future. I quickly found myself involved in numerous on-campus organizations like IUP-TV, WIUP-FM, and IUP’s student newspaper The Penn. There I would learn and develop my skills to help better myself.
I quickly became involved with IUP-TV and became an on-air talent where I was on numerous segments as a walk-on freshman. Here I was able to practice being on camera and develop my debating skills amongst my peers. I quickly stood out amongst my peers and became IUP-TV Sports’ digital broadcaster for the men’s basketball team games. After putting in the work, I was rewarded with being able to commentate the 2019 NCAA Division II basketball tournament for a national audience. These experiences and opportunities allowed me to grow and help me stand out.
After developing an affinity for broadcasting, I found myself being drawn in by the power of the pen and paper. I started out as a sports Journalist for The Penn, and stood out amongst my peers quickly. I spent countless hours watching, interviewing, and analyzing a variety of sports for IUP. This work helped me grow as a sports analyst and helped me quickly rise through the ranks from writer to the sports section editor.
Dedication, perseverance, and work ethic have all helped me get to where I am today. I am a well-rounded individual who carefully analyzes sports and can give you a well-informed take on them. So many people are biased or lack conviction in their delivery. I mean what I say, and I will never lie to my audience. Everything I have done, I have done it so I can share my opinions with the world.
