About Me
'If you believe my father, I've wanted to be a sports reporter since I was five-years-old.'
My Version of The Story:
I seem to remember the bug hitting me when I was 12, when I realized that I didn't have the skill-set to be a starting tight end for the Washington Huskies.

Speaking Engagements
In the 10th grade, I knew that if I was going to make it as a sports journalist then I needed to overcome my shyness. So I took a speech class. To this day, I still use the techniques I learned in that class, which has helped me become an engaging, energetic speaker with a knack for quickly connecting to my audience.
I've covered athletes such as Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, Darren Woodson, Dak Prescott, Zeke Elliott, Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Hamilton, Pudge Rodriguez and Mike Modano. I’ll take you inside various locker rooms and tell you what I've gleaned about success, failure, perseverance and the role race plays in our society.
In the process, I’ll make you laugh and reflect. My goal is not to persuade you to agree with me, it's to get you to consider a perspective you might not have otherwise considered.
