One Final Signoff

I’ve spent the last three years working at Annenberg TV News. The opportunities I’ve been fortunate enough to take advantage of have been amazing and a huge jumpstart to my sports broadcasting career.
Looking back on what I was able to do…I’m just stunned. I interviewed Pete Carroll, by myself…Pete Carroll—the greatest coach in college football!!!! Wow…
I was on the field for the ROSE BOWL, two years in a row!! I traveled to football games at Oregon, Notre Dame, ASU, Oregon St., and the wonderfully exciting Washington State (in Pullman, WA!!!).
I went to cover USC in the NCAA Tournament (that’s March Madness!!) two years in a row (hello Spokane, WA and Omaha, NE). Tim Floyd, OJ Mayo, Nick Young, Gabe Pruitt…talked w/ ‘em all!!!
I was able to witness historic runs from USC’s water polo, soccer, and tennis teams.
This was AWESOME!!! Awesome, awesome, awesome. The people I’ve met along the way have made a true impact on my life…The management team I’ve been lucky enough to work with is full of some of my best friends. The advisers I’ve had have meant so much to me, it’s indescribable. I wish everyone a huge amount of success.
Marcelo and Jeremy take the reins at ATVN Sports from here on out…fellas—keep lookin’ up, cuz that’s where it all is!!!! You guys will be great
One last time…thx for reading.
