About Bryan

1989 — eight years old, giving a full breakdown of Super Mario Bros. on the original NES.

I'm from a little town called Little Ferry, New Jersey — about five miles from the Meadowlands. Sports, and hockey in particular, have always been part of my life. When I moved to Orlando, FL in 1998, technology and sports media were still light years from where they are now, and my love for hockey took a back seat — it was next to impossible to catch a game on local channels. I worked for Publix in Florida, where I learned real skills in accountability, accommodation for others, and above all else, a high level of customer service. But I learned an even bigger lesson there too.

I don't want to stock groceries for a living.

With some luck, I connected with a morning show producer who invited me to job shadow — and that was day one of an eighteen-year radio career. I worked my way up from an intern to on-air talent across every station in the iHeartRadio cluster over sixteen years — overnights, weekends, fill-ins, and everything in between — building production, editing, and creative skills alongside the on-air work. At the same time, I spent a decade as the PA announcer for the Orlando Solar Bears, and that's really where the two sides of my career started to overlap: the voice on the mic, and the pacing and instincts of live game presentation.

From there it became less about being on the mic and more about building the whole show around it. I moved into game presentation full-time with the Tampa Bay Lightning and, that same pandemic-condensed season, the Toronto Raptors during their year based in Tampa — running artificial crowd sound and the in-arena Tagboard display through one of the strangest stretches professional sports has ever seen.

Savannah is where it really clicked. I got to build a game presentation department from scratch for the Ghost Pirates' inaugural season, founded GPTV as our in-house broadcast unit, and directed the 2024 ECHL All-Star Classic — and the department ended up winning ECHL awards for Game Operations and Theme Night of the Year. From there I moved to Zawyer Sports & Entertainment, overseeing game presentation and Technical Directors across their whole portfolio of teams, then helped Gastonia Baseball Club get through an ownership change. Most recently, I was a founding front-office member of the Trenton Ironhawks, building marketing, game presentation, and fan experience for a first-year expansion franchise from the ground up.

For me, it's the same mission every time: create an event people want to be at, and leave them already looking forward to the next one. Whether it's a globally syndicated radio show, a benchmark event for the league, or a random Tuesday night game, the result is the same:
