News Reporter

About Me:

Hi, I'm Jack! I'm from Pocatello, Idaho, and I am the oldest of 4 children. I served my mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Bolivia and Colombia.

I love traveling around the world with my family. Some of my favorite places I've been to include, Thailand, Fiji, Ecuador and Mexico, just to name a few!

I love sports, especially football and basketball. I am a huge Philadelphia Eagles and Duke Blue Devils basketball fan.

Background & Experience:

I'm a Communications Major with a News & Journalism Emphasis.

I've worked as a reporter for the BYU-Idaho Radio Station since January of 2025, and love getting out and talking to so many cool people. I was also an anchor for my high school news team.

I have been making videos for my personal YouTube channel since 2017, and love making videos talking about sports, particularly NBA, NFL, college basketball and college football on my channel.

I hope to one day be a sports reporter/broadcaster and work for ESPN, specifically on College Gameday, ESPN's weekly college football and basketball program.
