About

I am an Atlanta-based sportscaster. I provide voice-over talent for Turner Sports as I have consistently done since 2007, working both on-air and behind the scenes with NBA, MLB, PGA, NCAA, and WNBA projects. In April of 2011, I ended a nine-month run as co-host of "The Young Guns" radio program on Sports Talk 790 the Zone. "The Young Guns," a show in which I beat out hundreds of other applicants, was originally scheduled to be a three-month program.

Most notably, I worked as a co-host for TBS Hot Corner, a live, interactive Internet show affiliated with mlb.com, during TBS’s Major League Baseball postseason coverage. I have interviewed such greats as John Smoltz, Cal Ripken, and Ron Darling.

I am a graduate of Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Coaching. I have called Atlanta home for the past 14 years.
