MLSNP Playoffs kick off tomorrow, which means my 2026 broadcast slate comes to a close over the next few weeks. So, I finally updated my demo reel. From MLS NEXT Pro to NCAA to Aurora FC to even the USMNT, here’s what I’ve been up to over the last calendar year:
The #USMNT face #CANMNT this week in my beloved Twin Cities of Minnesota. Fresh off having the World Feed call of the US/Peru match, I’ll join my friends @fox9mn.bsky.social tomorrow afternoon to preview the match at Allianz Field.
I wish there was a way to make money off of talking about how much I love the state of Minnesota. Such a great place.
Had a chance to be on World Feed comms this weekend for US/Peru. Thread of some broadcast highlights:
First time for everything, including me going to the Minnesota State Fair. It is somehow even better than advertised.
Super League broadcast boards/notes, opening night DAL/TB. Not pictured: equalizer in 90’+3’.
Trying something new with my play-by-play highlights: Austin FC II became the first @mls.bsky.social NEXT Pro club to clinch a spot in the 2026 Playoffs. Here is how it happened with this ‘Match in a Minute’.
Playing USL bingo on-air tonight; so far we have a @usltactics.com mention & a @theunionreport.bsky.social plug.
The Odyssey, drop what you’re doing and go see it. Best endorsement I can give is that it left me, a person who talks for a living, speechless. Elite cinematic experience.
