I was born in Los Angeles in 1978 and originally came to El Paso in 1986 at the age of 8. After moving to Chicago with my mom, sister and stepfather in 1989, I returned to El Paso permanently in 1991 to live with my father. I graduated from Coronado High School in 1997, and went on to obtain a Bachelors in Broadcast Journalism from UTEP in 2004. During my tenure at UTEP, I worked for KTEP 88.5 FM and officially began working for 600 ESPN El Paso in 2004. In 2005, I began co-hosting and producing CrunchTime and in 2007 became a reporter for Football Friday Night. In 2012, I began hosting my own podcast called “Deep Dish Sports” in honor of my love for my second home, Chicago. In 2015, I began broadcasting UTEP Women’s basketball home and road games for 600 ESPN El Paso, and in July of 2016 I became the host of CrunchTime. In 2017, I was given the prestigious honor of being named as the best DJ/Radio personality for the El Paso Times “Best of the Border.” A few of my hobbies include traveling, going to the movies, playing golf and spending time with family and friends. My favorite teams are the Chicago White Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks, Cowboys, UTEP and Mizzou. Overall, I consider myself to be one of the most fortunate people in the world because I am truly living my dream as a sportscaster for ESPN El Paso.

Urban Meyer’s Suspension is a Pathetic Joke
Often times it saddens me to think about the world that we live in today, as winning in sports at any level seems to be more important than life altering events and problems that everyone has when real life is constantly ongoing. Take the three-game suspension of Ohio State coach Urban Meyer which was announced on Wednesday, and was one of the most asinine penalties ever rendered for a person in
NFL’s New Helmet Contact Rule is a Necessary Evil

Dez Bryant Belongs in Cleveland

Tiger Will Win Another Major
For years I have argued that Tiger Woods will never win his 15th major championship because it seemed as though he was washed up and unable to consistently play competitive golf. Following his performance during the final round of the 100th PGA Championship this past Sunday from Bellerive where he finished second to Brooks Koepka, it became obvious that when healthy, Tiger is still among one of t

JR Smith’s Finals Goof is the Biggest in NBA History
Even if you tried to write the most chaotic script for the last minute of game one of the NBA Finals between the Cavs and Warriors on Thursday night, it would have been impossible to have come up with what actually transpired. In what can only be described as one of the biggest blunders in NBA history, JR Smith, who's now infamous for one boneheaded play, secured a rebound off of a George Hill mi
