Dave Goren | National Sports Media Association Executive Director

Show Notes:

  • NSMA moved to Winston-Salem 2-years ago and Winston-Salem has an underrated sports vibe
  • Growing up in Boston, Dave remembers reading the sports section at an early age and always loved the stories much more than the stats
  • Has always loved how sports connects people together and the stories behind the games do just that
  • After graduating from Syracuse University, he would eventually make his way to Providence, RI before finally getting an opportunity to be a sports anchor in 1988 at WXII in Winston-Salem
  • Loved being a reporter much more than anchor because as a reporter you can create stories
  • Hockey is his favorite sport and covering the Carolina Hurricanes after their Stanley Cup win is still one of his greatest thrills
  • Loves teaching as a professor at Wake Forest University and bringing in guests to help develop the next generation of sportscasters and sports reporters
  • Words of Wisdom from Dave Goren: “It’s not who you know, it’s who knows you.”
