About Me


I graduated from Lake Braddock in Burke, VA and then James Madison University in 2003 with a degree in Business Marketing. After graduation I went on to work with Redskins Radio before ultimately taking a job as a Producer for The Junkies show, heard each morning on 106.7FM WJFK throughout Washington, DC and Virginia. I have also hosted various talk radio shows with the likes of Redskins great Charles Mann and former Governor of Maryland, Bob Ehrlich on WJFK. I have also made a handful of television appearances, co-hosting Sports Plus (they were grasping) on CBS-9 locally as well as on Redskins.com TV which also aired on CBS-9. Last Summer I was selected to participate against poker professionals Daniel Negreanu, The Grinder, David Williams, Unabomber Phil Laak, etc and a bunch of celebrities on the Calvin Ayre Wild Card Poker show which aired on Fox Sports New nationwide. I held my own and won a nice chunk of cash, although I should have taken home more. I also played in the 2006 World Series of Poker in Vegas and busted out in 4 hours- dagger. Hopefully I'll get a shot again this year and not blow it.
