I'm currently the track announcer at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky and for the New York Racing Association at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York City.
A lifelong fan of horse racing, I became interested in race calling during hundreds of trips to Saratoga while growing up. I studied Communication Arts in college, went to auctioneer school and practiced calling races into a tape recorder on the roof of Saratoga. After graduating college, I became the announcer at Louisiana Downs in 2006.
I've also called races at Churchill Downs, Monmouth Park, Calder, Golden Gate Fields, Louisiana Downs, Lone Star Park, Suffolk Downs and Sam Houston.
