Hi. I was hired at ESPN 30+ years ago when essentially all you needed was a pulse. Cable was in its infancy, and the notion of sports on TV 24 hours a day was scoffed at. Red Sox utility infielder Jack Brohamer’s Hall of Fame credentials received more serious consideration than we did at the time. That you are reading this blog would suggest things have changed, and my family and I are very grateful. I have the good fortune of overseeing the Communications department responsible for FrontRow, among many other things that come under the heading of “How ESPN communicates to its employees and the outside world.” I’ve been here this long, and witnessed directly all the change that has occurred, for one primary reason: the people I work with at ESPN are passionate, dedicated, fun…and I am still having a blast coming to work every day.
