2. I believe that live sports is the greatest form of
reality television. Some of the greatest stories
ever told took place on a baseball field, in a
football stadium, a pro wrestling ring or on a
basketball court. As a child, I gravitated towards
professional athletes and their heroics because of
the announcers bringing those moments to life.
That love for sport and storytelling led me to enroll
at Full Sail University to pursue a Sportscasting
degree. Whether it be television or radio, my
dream job would put me in position to be my own
version of the same storytellers that I grew up
idolizing.

Forbes Most Valuable Brands List (2017): https://www.forbes.com/powerful-brands/list/
Apple 2. Google 3. Microsoft 4. Facebook 5. Coca-Cola 6. Amazon 7. Disney 8. Toyota 9. McDonald’s 10. Samsung
Methodology:
Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
