About

I've been a sports nut since I was a kid wearing San Francisco Giants sunglasses and mixing up what hat I wore to school based on the time of year (Giants, 49ers and Bulls were in my young rotation). Officially, I'm a fan of the Sacramento Kings, San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers, but I have a love of sports in general and can watch anything.

I'm a Sacramento native aspiring to be a sports broadcaster, and I am currently an intern for The Grant Napear Show on 1140 AM radio.

At Cosumnes River College I have taken Newswriting and Reporting, have written for the school paper and was the Sports Editor, spent a semester as the Softball P.A. Announcer, have taken Broadcast Writing and Announcing and have taken Radio Studio Operations.

    Thanks for becoming a fan, Jon! I see you are a new writer on B/R — how are you liking it so far? Also, I saw your interest in broadcasting, do you have any experience? Perhaps down the road you can get involved in some video with B/R! Thanks again.
