"You see so many people doing multiple things across the network under the ESPN umbrella. I’ve certainly benefitted from that... The fact that people believe I can do this in addition to everything else, that to me why I feel so validated."

"Working at ESPN, you’re working with arguably the best people in the industry. Because of that, a great deal of our goals were accomplished through collective effort and teamwork. It’s nice to sit back and reflect on the things we accomplished as a team together."

"This opportunity is something I’m not taking for granted. It’s cliche, but it’s a lifelong dream of mine since I was old enough to realize what goals are."

"You have to be hungry, curious, and driven to want to learn from those whom you have admired from afar for many years whom have been very successful."

"For me, this was a time in my life to try and take a big swing and might as well go for it. Because I don’t have any kids that are dependent on me. It felt like the right time to take a risk."

"We’re all in this together. In a lot of ways, it’s growing, but it’s also shrinking as well. It’s a small community. We don’t look at others as competitors. We’re not just growing the game, we’re also growing the industry at the same time."

"I loved working in Miami because it’s been more of a challenge to do things here sports-wise. The passion and creativity of the people I work with I will surely miss."

"I'm very fortunate to be alive and survived everything I've survived. What I want to do is enjoy my life every day. Part of that is doing things that I want to do on my terms."
