I work at Sporting News Radio in Los Angeles and I’m one of the sports update guys you hear giving scores and sports headlines every 20 minutes. Before coming to Sporting News, I worked at Fox Sports Radio in LA for just over five years, doing everything from anchoring updates, to producing shows, and editing sound.
I got started at Fox as an intern the summer between my freshman and sophomore years at UCLA. Rather than go to class, I spent most of my time managing the sports department of the student radio station (KLA) where I hosted a sports talk show and called games for UCLA football, basketball, and baseball. I even dabbled around in the student TV station, Bruinnews29 for a quarter or two. After four relatively fun and pain-free years, I graduated in ‘05 with a degree in Communication Studies. Luckily about 75% of my classmates in the major were hot chicks so I was able to stay focused.
A lot of you might know me as the guy who used to fill in for the legendary J-Stew and T-Rodge on the world famous Jim Rome Show. Some of you might also know me from FanHouse, where I began blogging for AOL Sports in March of ‘07, covering mostly baseball and football. I also do some writing and researching for MLB.tv, which is part of MLB.com. And while I was at UCLA, I spent a year working for the Dodgers P.R. department. They haven’t won a playoff game since I left.
