Beyond the Bio
Favorite sports moment at Pitt?
I have two that stand out to me, the first being the Backyard Brawl football game against West Virginia in 2022. It was my first event to work since taking the job at Pitt and for it to be a record crowd, a Pitt victory, and a well-run event made it stand out for sure!
The second is hosting the Elite 8 match in the 2023 Men’s Soccer Tournament. Setting the attendance record for men’s soccer is a great accomplishment to be a part of! Calling the game that saw Pitt win in overtime to advance to the College Cup made it a top moment that will be hard to beat.
What do you love most about working in athletics?
For someone working in marketing, being able to pack the stands for the various sports that I oversee is a great feeling. Being able to create, sustain, and be a part of an incredible atmosphere at these games is why I love what I call work.
