Where you'll find me - Summer 2026
Here you can find an overview of my current projects:
In the blink of an eye, the FIFA World Cup 2026 has come and gone! I penned detailed Austria previews for the likes of World Soccer, FourFourTwo magazine & Athlon Sports in the USA. I also sat down with major players for extensive interviews for the FIFA World Cup 2026 preview show; most recently with Team Ghana's Jordan Ayew and Antoine Semenyo. During the World Cup itself I was live on BBC Radio, SiriusXM & ORF, talking about the action in North America! In Austria, I kept the public up to date with daily news reports and numerous live chats for the state broadcaster ORF, covering the stories beyond the scorelines.
With European Qualifiers underway already, I'm heading to Salzburg to commentate on the World Feed for FC Salzburg as they attempt to secure League Phase participation for the coming season.
During the previous football campaign, I was around the grounds of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women's Champions League, UEFA Europa League and more, asking questions in pre- and post-match interviews for broadcasts with the likes of Disney+ and UEFA's official channels, and I plan for that to continue into 2026/27!
As well as my reporting duties, I'm in the commentary box weekly with world feed or international English coverage of matches from France (Ligue 1 McDonalds & Arkema Première Ligue), Germany (Bundesliga & Champions League for BVB TV), Spain (La Liga F), across Asia (AFC Women's Asian Cup, AFC Champions League Elite) and more.
On the social media side, my TikTok & Insta videos and posts covering Austrian football have been enjoyed by many millions of viewers via my channel @OtherBundesliga, where me and my colleagues have reported on Austria's "Road to 26" World Cup Qualifying campaign as well as the domestic football leagues.
My Swiss National League Ice Hockey commentaries have resumed as the season returns following the Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games. I reported extensively on the happenings in Italy for Austrian broadcaster ORF.
Footage of my commentaries and more can be seen via the Showreel tab of this website!
