About me
I’m a freelance football journalist, commentator, and media professional with more than 25 years of experience working across live broadcast, editorial, and international sports media.
My work focuses on German football, particularly the Bundesliga, where I’ve covered the league from inside the country for almost three decades. Living and working in Germany has given me a deep understanding of the football culture, language, and media environment — and how to translate that for international audiences.
I currently provide English-language live match commentary for clubs and competitions including FC Bayern München and the Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga, alongside remote commentary and voice work for broadcasters and digital platforms across Europe. I’m equally at home behind the microphone or in the editorial seat, producing previews, match reports, interviews, features, and analysis.
Earlier in my career, I served as Bayern Munich correspondent for ESPN, covering the club across domestic and European competition. My written and broadcast work has also appeared with outlets such as BBC Sport, Deutsche Welle, and international TV and radio networks including CNN WorldSport, Sky Sport News Deutschland, TRT World, BBC Radio, and TalkSport.
Alongside football, I’ve delivered German-language editorial content for the Atlanta Falcons as part of the NFL’s international market expansion in Germany, and have worked as an editor and translator for major multi-sport events, including the European Championships Munich 2022. I also bring experience in cricket coverage, including German-language commentary for Eurosport.
Before entering full-time sports media, I spent several years with the Royal Air Force as a Russian linguist — a background that shaped my approach to communication, preparation, and working under pressure. I later completed a Player Care qualification with the Player Care Group, reflecting my interest in the wider professional environment around elite athletes and teams.
I’m UEFA-accredited and a member of the German Journalists Association (DJV) and the Munich Sports Journalists Association (VMS). I work fluently in German and English, with additional working knowledge of Russian, French, and Spanish.
At heart, my work is about clarity, accuracy, and trust — whether that’s live on air, in print, or behind the scenes. I enjoy collaborating with editors, producers, clubs, and media teams who value preparation, reliability, and content that resonates with the audience.
