Summary
I have been involved with Sports Media since my early years in college, and with Baseball, probably all my life. I have performed most of all the production and announcing tasks in Radio, TV: Anchor, Reporter, Producer, Editor, Director, Logger, Assistant, Programmer and in the corporate sports business area I have worked as Consultant, Marketing and PR Executive, and recently as Hispanic Affairs marketing expert, due to my extent research in the area during my Masters program. Since a couple of years ago I have been serving as a regular sports columnist for several newspapers and web sites in the US and Venezuela.
Achievements
I think that my greatest professional achievement has been the fact of covering journalistically every single step of the game of Baseball. I have broadcasted from Little League Baseball to Major League Baseball live from Major League venues,as well as Caribbean Baseball, olympic competitions and other international tournaments. I have also served to several important media, events and professional sports franchises such as CNN, Deutsche Welle, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the Zulia Eagles, the Central American and Caribbean Games, and currently ESPN at the World Broadcasting Center in Bristol, Connecticut, USA.
