  Neuhoff Communications

  May 2015 - Aug 2018

  Production Assistant/On-Air Talent

  As a young kid, I was always interested in Sports Media. Neuhoff Media Danville gave me my first opportunity to learn the ins and outs of radio. Working as a production assistant was my first exposure to the media world and the importance of content on the airwaves. I produced and voiced commercials for local businesses and weekend weather forecasts. I was given the opportunity to broadcast HS Basketball and Football and Summer League Baseball on radio and through internet streams. I uploaded all recordings of radio shows, from the week and weekend, and sports broadcasts to the website Vermilioncountyfirst.com. Show less

  Danville Dans

  May 2017 - Aug 2018

  Media Intern, Director of Media and Broadcasting, Assistant Director of Gameday Operations

  During the Summers of 2017 and 2018, I was given the opportunity to intern with a summer collegiate baseball team of the Prospect League. In the Summer of 2017, I served as a media intern, serving as a media liaison between the team and local media. I also developed a gameday media packet that was updated before every home game. Helped lead a team of interns for the gameday operations of Historical Danville Stadium, averaging 1722 fans per game. For the final 10 home games, I was the official scorekeeper as well. In the Summer of 2018, I accepted another internship with the Danville Dans. I had all the same duties as the previous year, with more added on. For that summer, I handled all social media and digital content for the team. I also traveled with the team to all away games and served as the traveling voice of the Dans with an internet stream of all games. I led a team of 5-8 interns for gameday operations for home games at Danville Stadium, averaging 1732 fans. Show less

  WATH/WXTQ Radio

  Aug 2017 - May 2020

  Production Assistant, On-Air Talent, and Operations

  Early in my college career, I was granted the opportunity to volunteer my time at the local Athens radio station operating the board for HS Football games on AM/FM Stations. This transitioned into becoming a rotating on-air talent for a daily sports radio talk show, The SportsFan. During my second year in Athens, I was part of the inaugural Online Game of the Week for the Football Season for WXTQ.com. After staff changes in 2019, I became a sports broadcaster for HS Football and Basketball on WATH/WXTQ on top of my duties as a talent for The SportsFan. Show less

  Ohio University

  Aug 2017 - now

  During my Freshman Year, I was lucky enough to take a class, EM 2090: Introduction to Sports Production, taught by Jason Chiappiano and Don Moore. Through this class, I became part of the ESPN3/+ student crew that produced and developed all broadcasts by Ohio University. Over time, I took the next class, EM 2080: Special Topics in Advanced Sports Production, and became more committed to these broadcasts and began to volunteer more often than other students, which later gifted me a part-time position in the Video Department. During my time in the Video Department, I produced, developed, and directed 30+ ESPN3/+ live broadcasts for basketball, volleyball, and wrestling every academic year. I also created graphics, packages, and content in accordance with ESPN talent for those same productions. I continued to adhere to marketing strategies/scripts on Gamedays with in-venue videoboard productions for basketball and football. I did this on top of my other position that I had for the Athletic Department from 2017-2020 and continued to volunteer while pursuing my Dual Master's Degrees from the College of Business.

  In the Summer of 2019, I took a step out of my comfort zone and accepted an internship that forced me to move hours away from home for the summer. It was the first position where I had the freedom to do things. During my time in Beckley, I produced all creative media for the Miners Social Channels, home game live streams, and In-Venue Videoboard productions.
