I wrote this press release to announce what became the Monarchs' most popular theme night of 2024: Kansas Swiftie Monarchs Night! The release has plenty of references Swifties will quickly spot, but also makes sure to highlight the event and make it attractive to local media. It even got directly quoted in the Kansas City Star! This was our highest-attended game of 2024.
I created this media guide from scratch in advance of the Kansas City Monarchs' 2024 season. It contains team story lines, notes on every player on the roster, and statistical records on the team. I also produced daily game notes throughout the season using the same template, with the help of my broadcast partner.
As director of media relations for the Monarchs, I'm in charge of maintaining relationships with working media and encouraging coverage of the team in all forms. Here's one example: passing along a highlight package and script to the major TV stations in Kansas City after a playoff game.
Social Media Graphics
I have plenty of experience creating graphics for social media, something I did most frequently in my job as Director of Broadcasting with the American Association's Sioux Falls Canaries.

Sioux Falls Stampede Pregame Intro |
In the winter of 2019-20, I served as the on-ice host with the Sioux Falls Stampede of the United States Hockey League, entertaining the crowd for each of the team's home games at the 10,000-seat Denny Sanford PREMIER Center. This is one of my pregame intro videos, played just before puck drop. It features a special guest from the American Cancer Society.
