2. I grew up in a town of under 700 people a tight
knit community to say the least. I have watched
and participated in sports my entire life. I served
in the US Army as an Infantry Mortarman and
learned the true meaning of brotherhood. I want
to use my ability to connect with people through
sports to bring a positive light to whoever is
listening or viewing. I may not look like the
cookie cutter Sportscaster but does the beard
take away from the passion and hard work I put
into improving my craft.
