Being a sports anchor/reporter at WBKB-11 in Alpena, MI, and a proud graduate of Emerson College only scratches the surface...

Favorite Sport: Baseball

• Played four years of D-III college baseball for the Emerson Lions
• Recruited at SS, but was beat out for the spot by a close friend. Became a converted pitcher and left the program 2nd all-time in career wins.
• Named Emerson Pitcher of the Year as a senior.

Favorite Movie: The Sandlot

• Babe Ruth's speech to Benny... gives me chills every time!

Favorite Team: Boston Red Sox

• A painful relationship that all started watching a guy named NOMAHHH!

Favorite Story: Ian Hammond

• Was Emerson Barros; now it's Ian Hammond's comeback from near death to discover his dream of a future coaching wrestling.

Favorite Quote that you won't find on Google Search: Ed Savido, childhood guitar teacher

• Growing up I took guitar lessons for seven years. Unfortunately I lost the time to play, and forgot almost everything... except my teacher Ed Savido's favorite quote: "It's ok to make mistakes. That's why pencils have erasers."

If there is free time (which there isn't)...

• Being with family, weightlifting, playing baseball, texting the people I wish I had time to talk to, good food, funny movies and TV, and playing with my dog Hershey.
