With more than 20 years of experience in working in broadcasting, I've done everything I can to become involved in every aspect of what goes into creating a high-quality production. My award-winning sports play-by-play work on television and radio, and my vast experience behind the scenes have helped me gain a wide range of experience both in front of and behind the microphone/camera.In addition, my experience in public relations, writing, statistics and website management allows me to be contribute in just about any area of a sports or news media organization.While play-by-play is a passion of mine, my broader goal is to be involved with live events. Whether that be covering, broadcasting, or helping to organize the event, I know that I can contribute in many ways, and variety of skills not only contribute positively to my on-air abilities, but has also prolonged my career.In addition to the variety of experience in broadcasting, I have also developed a passion for journalism and website management. It began in 2003 when I launched the only website dedicated to full coverage of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, one of the oldest continuously running soccer tournaments in the world. Using my journalistic skills, and with the help of a few colleagues, TheCup.us has become the main source for news and historical information about the tournament for fans as well as mainstream media outlets. This experience eventually led me to working for Advance Digital where I help manage a number of websites across the country, as well as helping to create the North American Soccer Reporters organization, and acting as the group's communications director for the first three years.Specialties: * At ease in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.* Outstanding organizational and multitasking skills.* Exceptional work ethic and self-motivation.* Newspaper layout and editing experience.* Digital audio and video editing skills.* Webpage editing and management (HTML, CSS etc.).
