He worked as a news reporter, assignment editor, photographer, editor, writer, producer and even did the weather before he settled in as the station’s sports director.

He also worked at SportsRadio 610 and co-hosted a weekend sports show on 1560 TheGame. His career path then led him to the Bahamas where he helped start that country’s first all sports-talk radio station. He returned to Houston in August 2010 to resume his role as a freelance news reporter for 39 News. After more than ten years in Houston, he considers this his second hometown.
