Welcome! I am the Director of Media and Ticket Sales for the Lakeshore Chinooks of the Northwoods League. I recently graduated from Western Illinois University where I earned my bachelor's degree in Sports Broadcasting and more recently my master's degree in Sport Management. Throughout my time at Western Illinois and numerous roles in sports media, I have developed the necessary skills to be successful in the sports media industry.

I hope that you enjoy what you find as you explore my website!
Originally from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, I am a television and radio broadcaster who has spent the last several years learning how to better myself as broadcaster by calling collegiate athletics at all three levels, summer collegiate baseball, junior hockey and professional wrestling. Over the past few years in the sports media industry, I have learned many different aspects of what it takes to succeed as a sports broadcaster. While I have developed a strong passion to broadcast a wide-range of sports in my time at Western Illinois University, I continue to seek opportunities to broaden my knowledge, skills and experience in the sports broadcasting industry.
