UT Austin grad, former Spectrum Reach analyst, and lifelong sports obsessive. I started BSI because college baseball—one of only three revenue-generating college sports—deserves a real analytics platform. So I built one.
Read the origin storyI grew up in Memphis watching SEC baseball and driving to Austin every Thanksgiving for Longhorn football. My family has held the same four season tickets for over 40 years—longer than I've been alive. I was in the stands when Ricky Williams broke the rushing record against A&M.
After graduating from UT Austin (International Relations, with minors in Economics and European Studies), I earned my MS in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University. I built my analytical foundation in data-driven advertising at Spectrum Reach and finished top 10% nationally during my time at Northwestern Mutual.
The opportunity that kept nagging at me: college baseball is one of only three revenue-generating college sports alongside football and basketball—but it lacked a real analytics platform. FCS and Group of Five programs deserve the same depth of coverage. That gap is what Blaze Sports Intel exists to fill.
