Retired Military, NHL Broadcast Operator
How did SC4 help prepare you?
I attended SC4 through the Blue Water Middle College Academy and then left to pursue hockey and eventually joined the military. SC4 helped bridge the gap in preparing for adult life and then got me a leg up in the military with my credits rating me for a higher rank. Retiring from the military and coming back to Port Huron briefly, SC4 was so helpful at taking my old credits, helping my degree by adding my military credits, which allowed me to shorten my time seeking my associate, and then SC4 was incredibly accommodating at taking my GI bill to ensure the rest of my degree came at no cost to me.
What do you like most about what you do professionally?
I love the fact that I’m qualified through my educational background to have such a well-paying, incredibly fun, and riveting job currently in the sports industry. My primary role is with replay broadcasting and storylines. While you won’t hear me, a lot of special replays for certain teams and verbiage for talent (most often the Ottawa Senators and the Philadelphia Flyers) are my work. It’s so fun to see your work on television and know that what I help produce for all 32 NHL teams is being seen by millions of people!
Did you transfer on and earn other degrees? If so, what degrees and from where?
I did transfer! I transferred to the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington, and earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology! Currently, I’m studying in a graduate program trying to earn my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling so that I may counsel veterans like myself in need of mental health care.
