Thom Brennaman

About

* WHO I AM: Christian, Husband, Father, Philanthropist, and Mentor * WHERE I’VE BEEN: After a 30-year career in sports broadcasting, one derogatory word said on a live microphone during a professional baseball game changed my path forever. With one of the longest-running careers in sports broadcasting on hold, I used my time away from the booth to talk with LGBTQ leaders across the country to listen, learn and understand what the word meant. * WHAT OTHERS SAY: “While no two situations are exactly the same, I believe in second chances. Every game that he would broadcast would provide him with an opportunity to share a part of this experience and the responsibility that comes with being a member of the baseball community.” — Billy Bean, MLB Vice President of Social Responsibility and Inclusion “I’ve been involved in broadcasting for over 30 years, and I know how easy it is to make a mistake or say something that can be wrong or hurtful. In this case, Thom crossed a line, but I don’t think he did it with any malicious intent. I also believe in second chances. Thom has a long and impressive track record in sports broadcasting. He is a terrific on-air talent.” — Eric Braverman, Los Angeles Dodgers, Senior Vice President of Communications, Marketing, and Broadcasting “Every public figure who messes up doesn’t necessarily deserve a second chance; Thom deserves a second chance.” — Scott Seomin, Former Vice Presiden of Media Relations for FX Network “I don’t bat an eye for a second. I’ve spent too much time talking to him. This is not just some extended role performance.” — Rick Wurth, CEO Children’s Home of Cincinnati * CAPABILITIES: Broadcasting – Television and Radio Motivational Speaking Corporate Speeches Voiceover Work News and Sports Anchoring Training and Consulting Talk Show Host Podcasting * WHAT’S NEXT: After spending my entire career in the public eye, I am looking to pivot into a new opportunity where I can leverage my extensive knowledge in the industry and tackle a new challenge. * WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME: Professionalism, Discipline, Preparedness, Positivity, and Honesty
