Since birth I have been a sports fanatic, loving and worshipping my hometown Buffalo Sabres and Buffalo Bills. I love all sports but hockey will always have a special place in my heart as I have played since I started playing when I was two! I have always dreamt about playing professional hockey, but seeing as that ship has sailed, I am finding out the other ways I can contribute to the National Hockey League!

The Five Minute Major is my all talk hockey radio show, where I break down, analyze, and opinionate all that is hockey! From the UC Bearcats, to the 2010 Winter Games, to the NHL, I have it covered, along with my many cohosts and guests! You can go to the website and listen to our previous shows or you can download The Five Minute Major Podcast on iTunes!

I also currently serve as the Assistant Sports Director at Bearcast Radio where we call hockey, womens basketball, baseball, and soccer. I have been fortunate enough to have my hockey demo tape listened to by Chicago Blackhawks radio announcer John Wiedeman, and that is thanks to Bearcast. Besides calling games and managerial duties like scheduling, I also coordinate our Lexy feed. Lexy is a newer site dedicated to bringing audio alerts directly to your followers phones. We are in charge of the UC Men's Basketball and football Lexycast where we report the facts, no opinion.

                        

I am the official voice of the Univeristy of Cincinnati Bearcats ice hockey team, calling every home game for them, as well as their away game in Miami (OH). I've gotten very close to the players and personell of the team, and look to continue my great relationship with them. A goal of mine for next year is to actually have all home games filmed on UCast, which is shown on campus, and also on public access to the Greater Cincinnati Area. The thing that is little known is that the Bearcats have a great team, and great leadership, including Head Coach Blaine Stoughton who was once an NHL All Star! You can hear old UC Hockey play by play calls on our UStream account, but beware...I do some play by play inbetween the penalty boxes...so...parental advisory!

Lastly, I'm a contributing member of the Bearcast Sports Blog where I write blog posts full of my opinions in sports. Many teachers have told me to be as multifaceted as possible, and that's what I aim to do. I am able to write articles in AP Style, and in blog form.
