Dynamic Play-by-Play Announcer | ESPN Broadcaster | Voice of College Sports As a seasoned play-by-play announcer for ESPN, I bring energy, expertise, and storytelling to every broadcast—capturing the emotion and strategy behind every play. With a deep passion for college football, basketball, softball, and baseball, I engage audiences with insightful analysis, compelling narratives, and a seamless delivery that enhances the viewing experience. But my story goes beyond the broadcast booth. I’m proudly 13+ years sober, and my journey through addiction and recovery has shaped who I am today—both personally and professionally. That’s why I created "The Payoff with Pete" podcast, a raw and honest look at the great life that awaits on the other side of addiction. The show doesn’t just celebrate recovery; it takes you through the madness first, highlighting real struggles and real victories, with guests who’ve walked their own paths to freedom. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for delivering high-energy calls, connecting with fans, and bringing games to life through vivid descriptions and expert commentary. Whether calling nail-biting finishes or championship moments, my focus remains on engaging storytelling, accuracy, and creating an unforgettable experience for sports enthusiasts. Beyond the booth and the podcast mic, I’m passionate about helping others see what’s possible—whether it’s in sports, broadcasting, or recovery. Key Highlights: ✔ ESPN Play-by-Play Announcer for College Football, Basketball, Softball, and Baseball ✔ Host of The Payoff with Pete – a podcast about recovery, resilience, and redemption ✔ Proudly 13+ Years Sober – passionate about sharing the power of sobriety ✔ Experienced in live TV, radio, and digital broadcasts ✔ Known for high-energy, insightful, and engaging commentary ✔ Strong industry relationships with athletes, analysts, and producers Whether you’re a sports fan, media professional, or someone on their own path to recovery, let’s talk about how storytelling—on the field or in life—can make an impact. 📩 Let’s connect!
