I have had a great deal of radio and writing experience in sports media, live on air music mixing and I have an extensive background in radio production. I was the sports editor for my school’s newspaper “The Catalyst” where I was a member for four years. I am also the Program Director for my school radio station “OWWR” (Old Westbury Web Radio) where I have been a member of for during that same period.
