My life started in the great city of Philadelphia, PA.

I was always a shy kid growing up. My mom often tells me

about the time I hid in the closet during one of my earlier

birthdays. I didn't like the crowds or the attention -

obviously some things have changed!

I went to Parkway High School in Philly, then graduated from

Winona State University with a degree in Mass Communications. My

first job out of college was as a News & Sports Photographer in

LaCrosse, WI making less than $15K a year.

After LaCrosse, I made the trip out west to Yakima, WA where I worked at KIMA-TV as a News Reporter. I quickly moved up to Weekend Sports Anchor. Once I honed my craft in Yakima, I moved on to Louisville, KY and WHAS-TV. Now I call Boston and Comcast SportsNet New England. My job at CSNNE allows me to cover some of the best teams in professional sports. It's a dream come true.

One of the areas I'm focusing my spare time on is in public service. It's important to me to give back to the community, helping kids who are going through the same struggles I did. One of the ways I intend to do this is by public speaking.  I routinely speak to grade school

kids about the need to stay in school, to choose your friends wisely, and the importance of perseverance and doing the right thing.
