I possess elite sports knowledge and highly enjoy reporting on all sports and telling compelling sports stories in any newsroom. Multimedia in sports is very important and is growing. I have the skill sets necessary to tell sports stories, not game score stories. By combining audio, video, photography and writing; sports stories come to life. People want to know about what happens inside the game, they can get a score from anywhere. My stories reflect that concept.
