I have commentated high school, collegiate and professional sports through 5 years of broadcasting.

About Me
Experience
Over the past few years, I've worked up many hours of play-by-play. Below is an example of what I sound like on the air, combining my experience across sports. It begins with a minute of some of my favorite moments from broadcasting, followed by three, uninterrupted commentary segments of basketball, football and soccer.
While I love calling all sports, I have the most experience commentating baseball thanks to my summers in Sioux City, Wisconsin Rapids and Omaha. Most recently, I've had a few fill-in stints with the Storm Chasers, and below are some of my biggest highlights paired with two uninterrupted play-by-play samples!
