"My career has been built on the foundation set by Glenn. I spent one summer doing minor league baseball with Glenn. Each and every game he set a standard of preparedness and professionalism that has been my bar ever since. Accuracy, industriousness and effort all matter, every game.
"Glenn has been the most influential person in my now 25-year career.
"Glenn is not just a pro’s pro. He’s the professional I respect the most in my profession."
"As a former student of Glenn's at FAU who has now begun my own career in broadcasting, I can tell you he is truly in this to help you.
"His wealth of knowledge and dedication to his craft are eminently clear, and he puts that same effort and care into ensuring that you are learning the essentials of broadcasting while having a really fun time doing it."
"As a new on-air talent working in Boston in 2004, Glenn was instrumental in guiding and advising me through those first couple of years.
"He helped me navigate a clubhouse full of star players, and he helped in my transition to broadcasting in one of America's largest and most-passionate markets.
"To this day, he’s a trusted and valued voice in my line of work. I consider myself lucky to have worked with him during my time in New England.”
"Glenn is uniquely qualified for this, the guy with the best vision and deepest reservoir of humanity. He is not only a master craftsman with an ear for what works, he has an extraordinarily kind heart. He’s the perfect person to launch this service."
"During the pandemic, our minor league broadcasters community formed 'One Baseball Mic' to promote diversity and inclusion in broadcast booths. Glenn immediately recognized the importance and jumped on board, becoming one of the first major league broadcasters to join us. Zoom meetings, one-on-one teaching sessions, individual mentoring...Glenn never said, "No." Instead he always asked what more
he could do.
“Glenn connected with each and every broadcaster at their level. The way Glenn teaches and relates to ALL broadcasters is truly special. He empowers broadcasters to be themselves while teaching them his ‘tricks of the trade’ so they too might become big leaguers.
"When it comes to having a mentor and coach, there is no one I could recommend more. If you're interested in becoming a play-by-play broadcaster, Glenn is the big league teacher for you!"
"Glenn is much more than just an excellent broadcaster with decades of experience at the highest level. He's also one of the most kind and genuine people in our business.
"I've been extremely fortunate to have Glenn as a friend and mentor for many years, going back to my college broadcasting days. Even as a college student, Glenn would always take considerable time to provide feedback on my play-by-play work and offer advice as I navigated the early stages of my career.
"Glenn has always been there for me, and his guidance throughout my career has been truly invaluable."
"Glenn’s guidance in my career has been invaluable. He was the first Major League broadcaster to make me feel welcome in a big league booth, and took a genuine interest in my career from the start.
"Many of my mentors would listen to play-by-play tape for 5 or 10 minutes once a year and give thoughts, then you never hear from them again. Glenn was the opposite. He would frequently listen to my games, and he knew exactly what I needed to hear to grow in my craft.
"I never saw a baseball broadcaster more prepared for each broadcast, and Glenn elevated my preparation through that strong example.
"He has a genuine care for the next generation of broadcasters, and his mentorship will serve them well."
"Since I met Glenn nearly 13 years ago, he’s been an invaluable resource both personally and for the student broadcasting organization I
founded at Cornell.
"As an aspiring broadcaster, Glenn helped me develop not only the skills I needed to polish my work but also the intangibles that made a difference in how I connected with people both on and off the air.
"In serving on the advisory board for BRSN, Glenn’s passion for developing young broadcasters is unmatched. His work with our students allowed BRSN to rebuild our entire broadcasting department, to sustain an expanded offering of high-quality sports broadcasts, and most importantly, provided the path toward building a sustainable training and development model that rivals similar programs at universities with Broadcasting and Journalism schools.
"Put simply, BRSN would not have a thriving broadcast wing without Glenn’s dedicated work with our students and board members."
