First up is my podcast, Division 1 Rejects, where we have guests every week from all levels of football from JUCO to NFL. The focus of the podcast aside from having a great time is asking meaningful questions and giving smaller school athletes a voice.

Next is my very own sports-talk show, "Xtreme Football Talk" based on the XFL, filmed live in the TV Studio at Lake Orion High School that I hosted, edited, and produced all content for. In this episode, I had the chance to interview a professional athlete which was a great experience.

After that is my studio talent reel from our daily live (student-run) newscast, LO-AM, where I'm usually on a side set in our studio talking about our Dragon sports teams or a new scholarship available to students.

Finally, the last clip is an episode of LO-AM, our high school's daily live newscast, where I anchor for the day and give a recap of some of the most recent events around the high school.

NEWS STORIES & REPORTING

Basketball recap

Combining footage from floor-level and live broadcast, joined with announcer live reactions and my voice-over, I recap the Dragons district semifinal victory and interview some of the key contributors. I use statistics and chronological storytelling to retain the audience's interest and attempt to capture the energy that was in the building on that night.

Army truck story

I get to introduce this story from the desk as it cuts to a recorded segment in the field where I use more chronological storytelling to take the viewers through the experience as if they were there. I also use relevant b-roll as the interviewee is talking so that the audience can easily follow along with the story.
