Summary
Just a committed and work-hungry individual and looking to get his foot in the door. Everyone in the sports industry "has to love" sports. My whole life has always included a sport of some kind. Whether it is on the TV or on the field/court, my life has always come back to sports. I played basketball and lacrosse growing up. Played Division2 Mens Lacrosse at Wheeling University and Belmont Abbey College. Sports (especially basketball and lacrosse) have taught me life advise and teamwork skills needed for the workforce.
