Hometown: Hanover, PA
Number of seasons with the Monsters: 15
What do you enjoy most about working with the Monsters: The people, both in our front office and in the stands. For being someone who didn't grow up here, I've really enjoyed the relationships I've made here in 15 years. Working here and meeting so many lifelong Clevelanders truly gave me an appreciation for the city and made me feel like I belonged here.
What is you favorite memory from working in sports: Our championship in 2016 is hard to beat. I was lucky enough to have some family here that night and getting to share that experience with them, our fans and the city of Cleveland in a sold out atmosphere was something I'll always remember.
Favorite sports teams other than the Monsters: Penn State Nittany Lions
Favorite thing to do on an off day: I would say these days the best day is a Saturday where my wife, daughter and I can wake up slow. I make us breakfast, drink a ton of coffee and play with our daughter.
Favorite restaurant in Cleveland: We get takeout from Joe's Deli in Rocky River at least every other week. I also love Rocky River Brewing Company and Chatty's Pizza in Bay Village.
What is an interesting fact about you: I have season tickets for Penn State football and travel to 5-6 games per year around the Monsters schedule. I usually get up before 5 a.m. and drive the 4 hours both ways the same day. For our home playoff game in December 2024, I left my house at 3:00 and was in my parking spot at 7:20.
Did you play any sports growing up: I played soccer, basketball and baseball throughout high school, but my career ended there. Now I just run.
