Chris's Bio
Growing up on Baltimore's southwest side, Chris developed a love of the city's sports teams, thanks to John Steadman's writing and Chuck Thompson's voice. Those influences led the Mt. St. Joe and Loyola College grad to a sports media relations and new media career. He worked in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints (2000-05) as the club's Manager of Media & PR, and later, Director of New Media, and with the Atlanta Falcons (2006) as New Media Producer. Prior to the NFL, he worked on the sports information staffs at UAB, George Washington and Loyola. In between a pair of stints at UAB, he was the Class-AA Birmingham Barons' Director of Media Relations, including the 1994 season when hoops star Michael Jordan played for the club. A veteran of media relations work at major sports events, he has been part of the NFL's staff at eight Super Bowls and assisted at other events including the BCS National Championship Game, NCAA Men’s and Women's Final Four, MLB All-Star Game and the Goodwill Games. He brings his insight on the NFL's inner workings as an analyst each week on WNST and through his "Blog And Tackle" on WNST.net.
