I'm ambidextrous - I can Tweet (X?) with both hands.

I've been a sports fan my whole life - I've always loved watching and listening to games, learning the strategies and taking in the atmosphere. I grew up listening to the Red Sox and Bruins on the radio, making sure I had a spare radio hidden for when my parents told me to go to bed and shut off my other one. 

When I stopped playing baseball early in college, I dove headfirst into the world of radio broadcasting - starting as a producer and studio analyst for WMEB 91.9 FM in Orono, and working my way up to play by play broadcaster for the University of Maine's Men's Ice Hockey and Baseball teams. With each game, each experience, I looked to improve our coverage of the games and explore the nuances of what our listeners wanted to hear. When I took over as the station's Sports Director, I brought new live blogs and engagement to our coverage, and my involvement in the sports social media world took off.

In many ways, I have led a serendipitous sports life - I got to broadcast Maine Hockey at Fenway Park, the TD Garden, and the DCU Center, all in the span of 3 months, and landed my first professional sports job (running an entire department, no less) after applying for internships with the Portland Pirates. I’ve buzzed around the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball with the New Britain Bees, and watched some of the best athletes in the world play both for and against the Boston Blades of the Canadian Women’s Hockey League. Now, I'm on an exciting journey in London, helping grow the games of baseball and softball across the UK for BaseballSoftballUK, along with the incredible opportunity to support the Great Britain baseball and softball national teams.

Being on the cutting edge of social media and sports communication is challenging, but I'm not afraid of sharp things. I strive to create unique and exciting programs, to tell the stories worth telling, and I'm willing to take risks in order to make something successful. I believe that sports communication doesn't need to sell a product, but rather sells the idea behind it - and I want people to buy into the idea I'm selling.

Tweet me, email me, send a carrier pigeon - I'm always excited to discuss new ideas and new opportunities.
