"I'm blessed to be able to work with a lot of very talented people who really care about the quality of the product, and because of that I think this award should be a reflection of their efforts," he said.

He also hosts the statewide Oklahoma Ford Sports Blitz on Sunday nights with News 9 Sports Director Dean Blevins.
