Anchor, Announcer for NASCAR and IndyCar

“My Dad was/is the ultimate definition of ‘Man’ – While serving his country for 28 years, he provided for his family, volunteered as coach for every team and Scout troop possible, plus shared his hobby and sports interests with his son in such a fun, no pressure way. Dad grew up just a few miles from a local short track, so he and his friends’ decision to field a race car there resulted in my growing up with a race car in the garage… and giving me exposure and knowledge to auto racing in addition to other sports that turned into a career advantage. He is truly my hero in every way possible.”
