ESPN - ABC Media Bio
First and foremost, I am a reporter for ESPN and ABC. I cover the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as well as the NASCAR Nationwide series on a regular basis. I also cover the very well-known X Games and the IZOD IndyCar series on a partial schedule (including the biggest race in the world, the Indy 500) . I began my career with ESPN straight out of college. Motorsports has been my passion. My love for Motocross and Supercross is actually what landed me in television. For that I am forever grateful.
I graduated in 2001 from San Diego State University with a degree in Journalism. I was born in So. Lake Tahoe, CA and lived a portion of my life there as well as in Las Vegas. I still spend quite a bit of time in Las Vegas and currently call Charlotte, NC my second home.
Aside from covering motorsports, I also love hosting and emceeing live events. My motivation is bringing personal stories to the fans. It's what drives me on a daily basis. I love fashion, fitness and traveling. My dream job would be hosting a show like ABC's Dancing with the Stars. I hope to one-day branch into entertainment television, spreading my wings in the world of television.
