About

I have worked almost every job involving sports at a television station. I started as a sports reporter and have since worked my way up to Sports Director at KHQ in Spokane, Washington. Along the way I’ve also been a producer both for sports and news. I now manage a five person sports department where we cover everything from major college sporting events to high school football on Friday nights. I have many years of experience covering sports on television, from anchoring nightly sportscasts to reporting on events live in the field. Every aspect of my job involves writing my own scripts, shooting and editing my own video, and gathering content. Additionally, I have worked on live televised sporting events as both a play-by-play announcer and sideline reporter. As a sports producer, I put together a nightly half hour sports show which involved building the rundown, creating graphics, editing video, and above all else, writing scripts. I am comfortable in front of and behind the camera, in the producer’s booth, or in the press box. I bring a positive attitude to the workplace and am always willing to work with other people.
