“I’ve worked with Artie since he arrived at Bowling Green State University when he immediately became involved with the Falcon Media Sports Network. In sports terms, Artie has proven to be a valuable utility player and a tremendous “culture guy.” From Day One, Artie volunteered for every opportunity, eager to try his hand at all facets of sports media, whether that was running the sound board for a live broadcast, capture video for a highlight package, providing play-by-play or color commentary for game broadcasts or writing game recaps and features. Artie actively sought out feedback on all these tasks and used that to improve each facet of his game. It’s that attitude that elevates Artie’s value. He’s passionate about his craft, but also about the organization, doing whatever he can to help his teammates because he knows that will improve the overall product. Artie will thrive with an organization that values determination and a team-first approach.”
