This page showcases content that I have created as a one-man band during my career.

From producing to editing, these skills have allowed me to thrive with the Coastal Athletic Association.

CAA Football Countdown To Kickoff Series

In preparation for the 2025 College Football season, I wanted to revamp our coverage from the conference perspective.

I had the idea to preview the upcoming year for each of our 14 programs. With so much turnover in FCS rosters, I believed it was important for fans to have a better understanding of what to expect from around the league in just a few minutes.

Here my episode about North Carolina A&T, as the Aggies look to return as one of the top HBCU programs in the nation under new Head Coach Shawn Gibbs.

CAA Insider Series

My first piece of content when I started with the CAA was beginning the Insider Series. This interview/podcast-type format was a great way for me to immediately make relationships with our athletes and coaches.

I quickly saw the benefit of having a short interview that could be broken up on social media to collaborate with the respective athletic department for maximum engagement.

Here is a conversation with Northeastern Baseball's Cam Maldonado before the MLB Draft that generated thousands of views on social media!

CAA Preseason Poll & Awards

When I started with the CAA in March, I missed the start of spring sports. However, I made it a priority to create additional video content when postseason awards were released for each sport.

Once our fall sports were set to begin, I wanted to follow the same formula for our Preseason Poll & Awards announcement.

This Women's Soccer video provided additional context about the league's new divisional format as well as the rest of the preseason awards.

CAA Insider Series (Alumni Edition)

With the summer being a slow time for content in college athletics, I was brainstorming creative ways we could collaborate with our schools.

Building off the CAA Insider series, I began interviewing prominent alumni from our member institutions about how their college experience led to success in life.

In my first episode, I spoke with Rick Mahorn, who played at Hampton before carving out an 18-year NBA career. This has been one of the most rewarding parts of my position thus far!

CAA Championship Recaps

One of the reasons why I accepted the position with the CAA was the ability to travel for our championships.

Being able to connect with our athletes and coaches in person is extremely valuable after covering them virtually for most of the season.

My first-ever trip was for Men's Golf at The Union League Golf Club in Swainton, New Jersey. This was my recap video after the third and final round of competition.

Exclusive Kyle McCord Sit-Down Interview

For my final class at Syracuse, I wanted to be creative in our sportscast and orchestrate a studio interview. Who else better to do it with than the new starting quarterback!?

With the help of my classmate and Syracuse Linebacker Derek McDonald, we were able to get Kyle McCord to do his first sit-down interview since coming to Syracuse.

I was able to cover topics like his transition from Ohio State to Central New York, the team's progress in the offseason, his EA College Football rating, and much more!

The Griffin Report Podcast

I started the "Griffin Report Podcast," where I orchestrated sit-down or Zoom interviews with Canisius athletes, coaches, and alumni.

In this episode, I spoke with legendary coach John Beilein about how his career began, his favorite memories coaching the Griffs in the early '90s, and how Canisius was pivotal to his success with the Michigan Wolverines.

Around Canisius Athletics

In an increased effort to highlight all of the programs on campus, I created a weekly series called "Around Canisius Athletics," that provides Canisius fans everything that need to know about their favorite teams.

Through analytics I realized this "snackable" content on social has been more efficient in reaching a larger audience compared to written articles on the website.

This episode recapped and previewed both basketball programs and the hockey team.

Canisius Season Previews

One of my favorite parts about working in the Canisius Athletic Department was promoting the student-athletes and the 20 NCAA Division 1 program they represent.

I did a Season Preview with each program, conducting interviews with a head coach and impact player about their thoughts on the upcoming campaign.

Listen to Matt Mazurek and 2x All-American Max Grant about their outlook on the 2023 season as they try to win their second straight MAAC Baseball title.

Mock Buffalo Sabres Practice Report

Towards the end of my internship with Pegula Sports & Entertainment, I had the opportunity to create packages following games and practices.

For one of my Sabres Practice Reports, I focused on Tage Thompson's breakout 2021-22 season. It includes an on-camera standup, followed by answers from Tage Thompson and Head Coach Don Granato.
