My Journey in Sports Broadcasting

I left my home of Southern California at the age of 16 to pursue my dream of playing competitive hockey at the highest level possible. During my rookie season of junior hockey at 18, I suffered a season-ending injury. After months of rehab and persistence, I battled my way back to make a full recovery and returned for a second season of junior hockey. I ultimately chose to attend Lake Forest College because of the many opportunities it offered me beyond athletics.

I arrived at Lake Forest without a guaranteed roster spot, hoping to make the team as a walk-on. Although I did not make the team, that moment marked the end of my playing career and the beginning of a new chapter in sports.

At Lake Forest, I made the transition from player to broadcaster. I used my experience as a former athlete to offer insight and connection for fans while calling games. Attending a small Division III liberal arts college allowed me to gain immediate, hands-on experience as a play-by-play broadcaster across a wide range of sports. I became the lead student voice of Forester Athletics, calling everything from hockey and football to lacrosse and volleyball. That experience showed me how powerful storytelling can be in sports—how it brings fans closer, gives athletes a voice, and captures the emotion of the moment. In addition, I became the connection and soundtrack for families tuning into our broadcasts from afar to watch their student-athletes perform.

For the past two summers, I’ve worked in the Futures League as the voice of the Norwich Sea Unicorns, where I also manage media relations, create highlight content, and build sponsorship and broadcast advertising packages that connect local businesses to the team and strengthen our ties within the community. 

 
Following my time in the Futures League, I transitioned into professional hockey, joining the Florida Everblades of the ECHL as a Broadcast & Communications Assistant. In this role, I contribute as a color analyst on home radio broadcasts while also supporting the organization’s media relations and content efforts. My responsibilities include writing game notes, previews, and recaps, producing weekly team reports, conducting player interviews, and assisting with broadcast production and sponsored content integration. This experience has allowed me to operate within a professional front office while continuing to develop my voice on the air.
 
Outside the booth, I continue to coach youth hockey—sharing the values the game taught me and helping guide the next generation. Whether behind the mic, in the locker room, or on the ice, my goal is to tell the stories that connect people to the game.
