KEEPING STORYTELLING IN STYLE
I am currently the Broadcast and Media Relations Manager for the Hub City Spartanburgers, the High-A Affiliate for the Texas Rangers. We recently wrapped up our inaugural season, which culminated in a South Atlantic League Championship Series appearance. I called all 132 games on radio, 15 of which were aired on a local TV station. I also handled all media inquiries, interview requests and credentials (over 400!) for home games.
WHO I AM...
When I'm not preparing for a game, I'm usually working on improving myself in other ways. I try to exercise in some way, shape or form five times a week; I fell in love with the weight room over my high school baseball career and it stuck throughout college. Run club, golf, basketball and pickleball are also also . I got my love of food from my mom, and I pride myself as a pretty decent cook. Putting down the textbooks has finally led me to read for enjoyment; I'm currently reading The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle to make sure I focus on small improvements one day at a time.
