During the past several years we have worked with Dave who has served as our announcer at several of our indoor meets as well as the Jesse Owens Track & Field Classic. In addition to his passion for and knowledge about our sport, Dave thoroughly prepares for our meets and offers knowledgeable insights on the histories and recent performances of the athletes competing in our hosted events.

Dave: After watching [the ESPN broadcast of the 2020 Mid-American Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships] later, you did a great job. I knew you were the one that could make this broadcast great. Thanks!

Clarity, engagement, enthusiasm, and track & field knowledge are a few of the many outstanding skills Dave brings to events. As important is his team spirit and collegiality, so sincerely appreciated by our experienced Armory announcers. We see in Dave a real winner and one who shares the view that modern track & field, at all levels, is one of America’s most exciting sports. It is not surprising that he has been invited to join our announcing staff and will be able to continue his first class coverage at some of the Armory’s most important track & field meets.
