I was an internship/scholarship winner my senior year of college, so AWSM gave me my first paid job after graduation.

Being in this business changes our ability to be a fan, but I grew up rooting for my hometown teams in Phoenix and I am an Arizona State graduate. I’ve also followed the teams in the cities where I’ve lived, most notably the Oklahoma City Thunder and Portland Trail Blazers.
