Key Achievements

Professional Baseball Media Experience

Working with the Northwest Arkansas Naturals provided invaluable experience in professional sports media relations. From crafting compelling narratives around player developments to managing media logistics during high-stakes games, I developed the skills essential for modern sports communication.
"AJ is a consummate professional and his baseball knowledge helps to make my postgame interview process quick and easy. I have been a sportswriter for 38 years and have covered the Northwest Arkansas Naturals since their move to this area in 2008. His on-air persona is also outstanding describing the action for accuracy and flair calling the Naturals."
