We cover a large variety of events and teams including the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals, Ohio State Buckeyes, Dayton Flyers, Wright State Raiders and a ton of local events going on in Dayton. On any given night, I can anchor the 6, 6:30, 10 and 11pm sportscasts on ABC and on FOX.

- What do you enjoy about your career/profession? Employer?
- I enjoy going out to games and events and getting to know the athletes, coaches, trainers, and everyone involved with major sports organizations. I also enjoy getting to meet and interact with fans who are passionate about their favorite teams. Playing, watching, and following sports is something I have done since I was little. So to be able to get paid to be around sports now is fantastic!
- Favorite quote or inspirational saying:
- Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
