Ted, 20, is currently a junior at Colgate University in upstate New York. He is entering his third year as the Internet radio play-by-play voice of eight different Colgate sports teams (men’s and women’s basketball, lacrosse, and soccer, as well as women’s hockey and softball). He has television experience as a pre-game, intermission, and post-game host for Colgate University Television (CUTV)’s men’s and women’s basketball, men’s hockey, and football coverage. Ted also assisted professional broadcast teams from Madison Square Garden Network, Fox Sports Net, and ESPN by providing statistics in the booth during Colgate’s improbable 15-1, Division 1-AA runner-up 2004 season. He has covered roughly 90 events in his first two years at Colgate.

 

Highlights of Ted’s broadcasting career include having served as the radio play-by-play announcer for the 2004 Patriot League championship games in both women’s basketball and women’s lacrosse. He was also on-hand when Colgate men’s basketball player Mark Linebaugh hit a memorable half-court buzzer-beater to defeat American in the final game of the 2002-03 regular season. CUTV footage of the shot subsequently aired on ESPN’s “SportsCenter.”

 

In addition to covering the Patriot League for CHN, Ted writes a weekly National Basketball Association column for the Colgate Maroon-News. He conducts weekly interviews with athletes which are available on the Colgate Athletics website, and writes articles for the department periodically. Ted prepares a pre-game feature article for each of his radio broadcasts which are available at Sportsjuice.com. He also hosts “The Bottom Line,” a one-hour weekly sports talk show which airs on CUTV and covers a variety of topics relating to college and professional sports.

 

A native New Yorker, Ted currently resides in Chappaqua, New York. While at Colgate, he is majoring in Political Science and pursuing elementary teacher certification while furthering his broadcasting career.
