What is happening in your life today that you didn't expect when you were named one of the 10 within 10?
I love my career and am grateful I get to produce NBA & MLB games for a living, but my number one job in the world is being Evan's dad! There is nothing more gratifying than raising my son with the love of my life (my wife, Emily - we met at CMU)!
When you think of CMU today, what word comes to mind?
Defining. I am who I am today because of the experiences and connections made a CMU.
