My mother once told me that if you really love your job you’ll never have to work a day in your life. I try my best to live by this mantra, applying my passion for professional soccer to sports media and PR. Though my love for soccer was passed down to me growing up in Northern England, it’s my interest in the American outlook on the game that fuels my career. I’ve been fortunate to experience the sport at all levels of the U.S. soccer pyramid, working alongside the players, coaches, administrators and fans that commit countless hours to raising the game’s profile across North America. 

Cutting my teeth in the USL Premier Development League (U.S. fourth division), I interned for Major League Soccer during MLS Cup 2009 before eventually landing at D.C. United as the club’s Media Relations Manager. While in Washington I was fortunate to learn from some of the best in our industry, traveling with the team for two seasons to every MLS venue and facilitating press access for United’s players and coaches. Other than being the victim of a few practical jokes at the hands of the team, I loved the experience and came away with some unbelievable friendships. 

Now I’m over on the broadcast side, handling the communications duties for FOX Soccer in Los Angeles. I currently reside in West LA with my amazingly patient girlfriend of four years. She’s more interesting than me, so give her a follow. Thank goodness she tolerates (and even enjoys) soccer at times. If you’re feeling bored, give me a shout on Twitter, or get the more formal details via LinkedIn.
