PERSONAL BIO
My name is Bobby Brown and I'm a senior broadcast journalism major at Penn State University (Class of 2018). I'm currently enrolled in the Donald P. Bellisario School of Communications and the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism. I grew up in Chalfont, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Central Bucks High School South in 2014. While in high school I enjoyed acting in theater productions, performing in school talent shows, and following CB South and Philadelphia sports. Here at Penn State I've had the opportunity to cover Nittany Lions athletics for CommRadio and participate in Penn State's student-run theater club No Refund Theater. I've also had the opportunity to work on the live production team for the State College Spikes, where I got to play all in-game music and sound effects for every Spikes home game at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park during the 2017 season. In my free time I enjoy playing fantasy football and baseball, collecting vinyl records, watching movies, and showing off my knowledge of useless information at trivia nights at bars in State College and Chalfont.

I hope to ultimately have a career in the field of sports broadcasting or production, where I can combine my interests of sports and storytelling to create unforgettable experiences for sports fans of all ages and backgrounds.
