Who
I Am
I am a passionate and versatile sports broadcaster who recently graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism. I also hold minors in Sports Studies and Statistics, along with a certificate from the prestigious John Curley Center for Sports Journalism.
I currently serve as the Director of Media for the Bismarck Bobcats (NAHL) after serving as the broadcaster and media relations coordinator for the Rochester Grizzlies (NA3HL) in 2025-2026. I was awarded the 2026 NA3HL’s Broadcaster of the Year award after broadcasting the Top Prospects Tournament, Outdoor Classic, and Fraser Cup Championship games. Outside of the broadcast booth, I oversee all team social media content, graphics, and written communications, and work to bring sales in for our broadcasts on NATV.
Throughout my time at Penn State, I gained extensive play-by-play experience across multiple sports and high-profile events. My work includes but is not limited to national broadcasts for Big Ten Plus, the 2022 Women's Frozen Four, and Penn State Football games. Notably, I was on the call for the Nittany Lions' outdoor hockey matchup against Notre Dame at Wrigley Field on 1/3/25, along with all three Penn State men’s hockey postseason games during the 2024–25 season, including the Frozen Four showdown in St. Louis against Boston University.
Beyond the broadcast booth, I served as the lead insider for Penn State men’s hockey with CommRadio, the university’s student-run sports broadcasting outlet. Over three seasons, I established myself as the go-to source for team news, delivering beat reports, in-depth features, and real-time updates on social media. My thorough and consistent coverage earned me recognition as the most prominent Penn State hockey reporter among student and professional media alike.
I aim to bring energy, insight, and a deep knowledge of the game to every broadcast—and I’m just getting started!
