About Max
"Originally from Santa Monica, CA, I decided to go to Temple because of TUTV. I wanted to learn how to produce TV shows, and Matt Fine's Owl Sports Update was the most accomplished, hands-on program I could find anywhere in the country. Upon arriving at Temple, I started volunteering at TUTV and WHIP Radio, eventually getting lucky enough to Anchor and Produce for Matt and OSU, and call Play-by-Play for WHIP Radio's Basketball and Football broadcasts. After 7 semesters with both outlets, I returned home to participate in Temple's Study Away Los Angeles Program, where my prior TUTV experience helped me land a Talent and Development internship with Comedy Central, and later a position on one of its late night shows. I currently live and work in Los Angeles." 

Favorite Memory with OwlSports Update?
"I have two: Getting to personally cover the 2017 Temple Football team in both South Bend, Indiana against Notre Dame and in Upstate New York at the Unites States Military Academy at West Point against Army."
