Why did you choose to Intern at FOX Sports Ohio - I wanted to intern at FOX Sports Ohio because I knew that they would offer me a great opportunity to learn a lot in my career field. I wanted to learn about the sports television business while also working for a major company like FOX Sports. I knew that the employees here would have a lot of information and experience to offer me and that I could learn from in order to better understand my own career goals and aspirations.
Bio - My first two years at Baldwin-Wallace were spent playing baseball, which was also my favorite sport throughout high school. Last summer, I was an intern for Rochester Community Baseball in their promotions department who owns the Rochester Red Wings, a Triple-A affiliate in New York. This summer I will return there to intern in their media relations department. I really enjoyed working for them and at a ballpark every night. I realized while I was there that my future has to be in the sports industry. Outside of work, I am a huge Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Braves fan. I also love the summer weather and plan to move somewhere warmer than Cleveland and New York someday.

I truly feel that interning at FOX Sports will give me a unique experience and a solid "leg-up" on competition when I look for a career after college.
Bio - I played football throughout high school and was a walk-on at Kent State University. Due to injury, I decided to focus on the business side of sports. I was an intern with Kent State athletics for three years; helping with the marketing and promotion of football and basketball (men's and women's). I was an intern with Ohio Varsity sports over the 2009 summer, helping with scouting and implementing various football and basketball camps. My evenings after I'm done at FOX Sports Ohio are spent helping the athletic director at my high school. I'm a Cleveland Browns and Cavaliers fanatic, but follow rugby and soccer religiously.

I am a huge Cleveland sports fan and I plan on pursuing my sports broadcasting career here in Cleveland.
