I love sports. I love public speaking. I love the Cyclones. As an Ames kid, my passion for Iowa State sports started in 1988 (still, have my program!) and my passion for Iowa State, it's history and the future of each program is second to none! I have experience announcing for Ames High Softball, formal speaking engagements, marketing videos and company meetings. In April this year, my company, Tourney Machine, was bought by Sports Illustrated and I am currently the Director of Marketing for Sports Illustrated Play. These experiences and my unique energy would make me a great addition to the PA team!
