It’s time for my next step

Almost seven and a half years ago I embarked on my professional relationship with Emil Finley and WLBG-AM.

Over these seven plus years I’ve been a part of broadcasting over a thousand live events, everything from Laurens High School football, basketball, baseball, softball and even a soccer match and a couple of volleyball games.

There have been wonderful experiences of being a part of bringing you middle school events, Dixie youth events, Christmas parades and my afternoon show, In The Zone.

I was recently offered the opportunity of a new challenge, one I have accepted as Director of Broadcast Services for Presbyterian College.

My main responsibilities will be to continue as the voice of Presbyterian College athletics on the radio as well as hosting and producing the various television shows for football and basketball as well as assisting in enhancing the coverage and exposure for the other sports at PC.

This challenge will force me to step away as the voice of Laurens Raider athletics as well as my afternoon show on WLBG.

This opportunity will allow me not only a new challenge but also as important will offer me more time to spend with my family.

I’ll embark on this new challenge on July 1st. While I will not actively play a part in broadcasting Laurens Raider athletics, I will always have a special place in my heart for the many coaches, athletes and fans that I have come in contact with these seven plus years.

I’ll continue producing a morning sports report for WLBG and will definitely be following the progress of all the teams I’ve interacted with over the years.
