Operations Intern

Future Sports Business Leaders Alliance 

Through networking with other University's Sport Management Clubs, I was able to take on a leadership role with the Future Sport Business Leaders Alliance during my senior year of undergrad. 

Working alongside students from over 5 different colleges, we collaborated to host networking events among students and professionals during the Spring semester in 2021. 

I led two large speaker panel events during the semester. One was an event featuring speakers from 5 different professional sports leagues that included over 80 students. The other was a Women's Basketball Coaches panel including Penn State and Iowa which included over 50 students.

Vice President of Speaker Outreach

I served as President of the Sport and Recreation Management Club. During my time as President, our club grew to over 120 members, had over 60 guest speakers, and featured 8 Special Interest Groups.

President Sport and Recreation Management Club

As leader of the Scouting special interest group in the Sport and Recereation Management Club, I connected with Iowa Football staff to put together scouting videos on Iowa's opponents prior to each game in the 2020 season. 

The videos included both statistical analysis of top individual student-athletes on opposing Big Ten teams as well as film breakdowns. Videos ranged from 3-8 minutes in length and we're sent to Iowa Football staff on the Sunday's before Saturday games.

Football Scout

Officiated Intramural Softball Games through the University. Gained confidence in going with my initial reactions, communicating with participants, other officials, and supervisors, and being impartial in decision making.

Intramural Sports Official

Big Ten Network

Working with BTN Utility workers to help set up cameras for Iowa Athletic events, work with staff to ensure programming works smoothly, and tear down postgame. Learned about TV Production, Division I soccer, volleyball and basketball, and communicating with a large group.

Student Utility Worker

My purpose is to leave a positive impact on other people. My passion is sports. My quest is to get my name on the Stanley Cup. 

Growing up seeing my hometown Chicago Blackhawks win three Stanley Cups made a big impact on me, and now I’m helping contribute to team success in the game of hockey. 

In addition to working in hockey, I create podcast content. 

Roadie On The Horn is a sports analysis show focusing on pro and college football, pro and junior hockey, pro baseball, and pro and college basketball. I started this podcast early in 2020 with Donovan Burns to share our sports conversations with our friends and the sports community. Once the pandemic hit, and we had no sports to talk about, we started answering questions from our listeners, which we've continued in every episode since. Check us out on Spotify, Apple Podcast, YouTube, Google Play, Stitcher, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok (@ROTHPodcast).

Front Office U is a podcast designed to help young professionals learn more about working in the sports industry. Through segments with guests and our own conversations, our goal is to help educate others on different experiences in the sports world. Along with Victor Anderson, Nathan Escobedo, Clayton Radl, and Ryan Mene, we are collaborating to help the sports community learn and progress as a group. 

My favorite sports team is the Philadelphia Eagles and my favorite hobby is to scout college football players entering the NFL.
