I am 27 years old and grew up in the small town of Kennesaw, Georgia. I graduated from Georgia Tech in 2004 with a degree in Business and Information Technology and soon after decided to move to New York City.

Shortly after, I started working for ESPN and was employed there for close to two years. I absolutely loved my time there, but decided to leave for an open position at Fox News. Fox has truly been a learning experience and has given me the opportunity to catch a glimpse into the world of television.

Last year, I was able to cover one of the most talked about Super Bowl games in history. I was working around the clock and enjoyed every single minute. It was there that I realized I need a career in sports. I am a huge sports junky and ultimately I would like to write for a sports publication or work in television sports reporting.
