Broadcast Journalism | 1987
Attending a top flight university allowed me the opportunity to hone my skills, challenge my talents and make lifelong connections. The chance to work in a professional media environment helped prepare me for my future career. Working with notable future pros such as Mike Tirico (NBC Sports), Ian Eagle (CBS Sports), Sean McDonough (ESPN), Dan Hoard (Cincinnati Bengals) and Bill Roth (Virginia Tech) helped me improve my individual broadcasting skills, and made lifelong relationships that I maintain to this day.
