2. Joseph Gross grew up with Mike and Mike
always playing in his Dad’s car and would
frequently see some sort of game playing on
the family TV whether it be basketball,
baseball, or football. The thing Joseph Liked
most about all of this was the constant
chatter. He loved to hear what was going on,
who thought of what, or who is saying what!
Thats when he knew he had a passion for
sports journalism. After taking several TV and
Journalism classes in high school, Joseph
would go on to broaden his knowledge of
broadcast journalism by enrolling at Full Sail
University's Dan Patrick School of
Sportscasting.
