My first job in Baltimore sports broadcasting was engineering the Ted Patterson show from McCafferty's in 2002.

I've met: Johnny Unitas, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Jonathan Ogden, Mike Singletary, Matt Stover, Todd Heap, Brian Billick, Sam Gash and numerous other Ravens players.

I've worked with: Justin Upton (Arizona Diamondbacks, 2004 #1 overall draft pick), Cameron Maybin (San Diego Padres) and Austin Jackson (Detroit Tigers) during the AFLAC High School All-American Game at Ripken Stadium in August of 2004.

Upton won the inaugural Jackie Robinson award that year ("...an honor bestowed upon the Aflac National High School Player of the Year who demonstrates outstanding character, exhibits leadership, and embodies the value of being a student-athlete."--aflacallamerican.com). Jackson could've had a full scholarship to play basketball at Duke, but he chose to play baseball instead.

Fun fact: Met Emmitt Smith in an airport, then later found out we flew on the same plane.

Favorite sports memories: Watching the Ravens win Super Bowl XXXV in Tampa, FL; Being in attendance for Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse national championship wins, when I had friends playing on both teams (2005, 2007)--both of which were against Duke and both of which were one goal margins of victory; The 2001 Miami Hurricanes making their case as the best college football team of all-time after dismantling Nebraska in the 2002 Rose Bowl/National Championship game.

Least favorite sports memories: The "pass interference" call against Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl/National Championship game, that cost Miami a second straight national title; The Titans beating the Ravens in a 2003 playoff game in Baltimore (I sat second row around the 15-yard line when the Titans kicked the game-winner...gut-wrenching); Any Steelers win.

Favorite Raven: Ed Reed

Favorite non-Raven: Drew Brees

Least favorite football player: James Harrison

I'm a Baltimore guy, born and bread. Any questions? Ask me!
