Austin's Bio

I'm 17 years old and am heading into my Senior year in High School.
I have played baseball since I was three years old, and travel baseball since I was seven.
I breathe baseball all year round, as I believe Opening Day is the best day of the year.
I attend 25+ Detroit Tigers game per season.
If given the opportunity I would rather go to a Tigers game over pretty much anything.
Up to date, I have visited 19 of the 30 Major League stadiums.
I am an avid ESPN watcher, Sportscenter is a daily ritual.
I plan on pursuing a career in Sports Broadcasting or Sports Journalism.
My dream job? Play-by-Play announcer for the Detroit Tigers, watch out Mario Impemba.
Currently I am the Sports anchor at our High School news show.
Many school nights are spent being the announcer for most sporting events at the school.
Recently won 1st place for High School Sports Play-by-Play in the state of Michigan.

I am the Community Leader for the Detroit Tigers on B/R.

If anybody has any connections, please let me know. I would love to get my foot in the door!
