Nobody ever tells you to follow your dreams anymore, but I am trying to do just that.

Originally from Buffalo, New York, I am an avid hockey fan who wishes to inspire the youth to love the same sport that gave me so much joy growing up.

I knew I couldn’t play professionally so I decided to give play-by-play a shot, and it has become my passion.

As the former voice of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats hockey team, I live hockey, and I hope to one day achieve my dream of working in the National Hockey League.

I think I am on the right path as I will be interning for the Tampa Bay Lightning during the 2011-2012 season.
