Additional Information

Basketball Coach:

I have had the privilege of coaching my sons' youth basketball teams from kindergarten through eighth grade, and I am currently coaching my daughter's basketball team. This journey has been one of my most rewarding experiences, filled with invaluable memories. The opportunity to mentor young athletes and contribute to their development has not only enriched my life but has also instilled in me a profound appreciation for teamwork, leadership, and community engagement.


Announcer:

I have had the unique opportunity to work with several prominent fight promotions in the midwest region, where I am responsible for setting the tone and energizing the audience during high-stakes events. My role involves announcing fighters, providing commentary, and ensuring a smooth flow of the event program.

Through my work, I have developed exceptional communication skills and a commanding stage presence, allowing me to engage and entertain large crowds effectively. I work closely with event organizers, promoters, and production teams to ensure that each event runs seamlessly, adapting to last-minute changes and keeping the audience informed and engaged throughout the night.

This role requires a keen attention to detail, as I must accurately pronounce fighter names, titles, and promotional details, all while maintaining a dynamic and exciting atmosphere. I take pride in my ability to create an electrifying environment that enhances the experience for both fighters and fans alike.

Overall, my experience as a ring announcer has given me a deep understanding of live event production and the importance of audience engagement. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the success of fight promotions and delivering memorable experiences to audiences.
