I am the Assistant Sports Information Director and a Play-By-Play Broadcaster for UMass Boston, MIT and Boston Neighborhood Network.
I have experience broadcasting across a wide range of ages and skill levels, from the American Hockey League, to collegiate sports, all the way to mite hockey.
My goal is to continue working in college athletics and to eventually become the voice of a Division I University.
