From anchoring ESPN’s flagship “SportsCenter” to becoming the Play-by-Play Voice for the Washington Commanders, I’ve been at the forefront of industry evolution, transitioning seamlessly from traditional to digital platforms, strategically anticipating change, and adapting swiftly. Successfully shifting from on-air host to entrepreneur, I founded Ampire Media, a disruptive podcast/digital media network. As executive head and lead creator, I built a powerhouse of content, including growing "The John Keim Report" into a startup sensation and hosting "FUTRSPRT," a B2B sports tech podcast. My career journey has been about impact. From hosting and producing the longest-running afternoon drive sports radio show in Washington, “The Bram Weinstein Show,” to securing contracts with major networks at Reel Media Group, my strategic vision has driven audience growth and revenue maximization. In addition, I've led vibrant teams and championed innovative coaching models to harness superior performance from talent in television, radio, and digital broadcast journalism. My passion for delivering top-notch sports coverage and commitment to coaching aspiring media talent converge in my role as an adjunct professor at American University, where I inspire students with cutting-edge insights into the evolving world of sports media, with several students embarking on successful careers. As a collaborative business partner and compelling storyteller, I excel in creating a structured path to growth, galvanizing teams towards a common goal, and elevating the collective quality of our work with relentless customer focus. As a content creator, I have strong command of the levers that drive audience engagement at scale and increase customer value. From navigating the demanding world of NFL fandom to building a full-service podcast company, I’ve thrived in growth-focused environments where the need to innovate and remain nimble is paramount. I’m tenacious in my pursuits, harnessing well-balanced strategic, creative, and analytical thinking. I’m a team player, prolific idea generator, and devoted father of two.
