Growin' Up "Mobrien"
Born and raised in Freehold, New Jersey (can you name the other most famous native?), I am an On-Air Host and the Director of Multimedia Production at 1010XL, the flagship station of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Florida Gators. Previously, I served as a Sports Anchor/MMJ at both First Coast News in Jacksonville, Florida (2018-2022) and at KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Following nearly a decade in local television, I pivoted full-time to radio and multimedia content production in April 2022; I had worked part-time at 1010XL since December 2020, co-hosting "Helmets & Heels," the longest-running, all-female sports program in the nation. In addition to H&H, I now co-host the daily program "XL Primetime" from 12-3 PM. As Director of Multimedia Production, it has been extremely rewarding to see our terrestrial radio station embrace new-age social and digital media, as we seek to not only be Jacksonville's leading sports radio station, but the leading outlet for sports coverage throughout Northeast Florida. Through my job at 1010XL, I have also been able to dive back into sideline reporting and play-by-play, serving in both capacities on 1010 as well as on ESPN+ and News4Jax. My passion for local sports infamously began at the "Bruce Beck and Ian Eagle Sports Broadcasting Camp" while I was in high school and eventually led me to Ithaca College. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Ithaca College in May 2015 where I also worked as a reporter for WENY-TV Sports in Horseheads / Elmira, NY; I also served as Senior Class President of the Ithaca College Class of 2015. I've had the opportunity to report and write here in the United States as well as internationally through my work at ESPN America in London. All the while, I have continued to learn, serve my community, and strive to do better than the previous day. Not too shabby for a kid from "The Jersey Shore."
