UTA PA Announcer Matt Sneed joined up with Arianna Vedia, a sports reporter for the University's student publication, The Shorthorn, to tell his story about what influenced him to get into the profession and what has driven him thus far.

Growing up in the Metroplex, Matt Sneed looked up to Chuck Morgan, the current voice of Globe Life Park, home of the Texas Rangers. He saw Morgan as a mentor for many years, emulating his pitch and tone, hoping to one day become a public address announcer, which he turned into a reality. He is now a PA announcer for UTA Athletics.

"Going to Rangers games and listening to him, that's when I knew," he said.
