What can I say... I am just blessed and beyond honored to have been a part of this amazing organization over the last two months. The Syracuse Salt Cats are an organization that cares so much about the development of their players; as well as the development of their staff and put together a product that allows them both to succeed. Just being around the guys on the field, or in the dugout, or doing our daily interviews showed me how amazing and cool these players are and how open they are to the experience. These new friendships that I have created with the team will be for a lifetime; soon I hope to be covering them in the big leagues. 
My personal journey of trying to improve my broadcasting craft has come a long way; from being a guy that was hired with having no prior game day calling experience with only some on air experience and did not have a foundation to go off of. To now; I know I have the skills, the drive, the determination to continue on working, and I know I have what it takes to be in the business of sports broadcasting.

I just want to thank the President and the Manager of the team; Michael Martinez for believing in me when I didn’t think I had what it takes. Eventually giving me the confidence to be in that booth doing the job and I love and know I can do it called upon.

To the players; thank you for taking the time to do interviews, have great baseball discussion, and just being awesome guys that knew exactly what to do. You guys will be forever etched in my life for what you guys provided and I wish the best for you in your futures as ballplayers and as people. 
On to the next project. #saltcats #meow #thankyou
