Hi, I’m Jason Romano. During my time at ESPN, I built relationships with the biggest names in sports, while helping to lead and grow the talent booking department. I’ve also been blessed to help create and manage the NFL on ESPN’s social media channels, growing them to over 6 million followers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. In February of 2017, I took a leap of faith and walked away from my job at ESPN to pursue sports ministry.
One month later, we launched the Sports Spectrum podcast, an interview driven show that features athletes, coaches, entertainers and other personalities sharing their stories on the intersection of sports and faith. I’m grateful to serve as the host and producer of the show that has now reached over 2 million downloads since its launch on March 31, 2017. Currently, I am the Director of Media for Sports Spectrum and oversee all of our media channels including the Sports Spectrum Magazine and SportsSpectrum.com.
