Off scRIPt EP 3 ft. Gerry Sandusky

Gerry Sandusky is a broadcaster who has become most known as the play by play, or “voice” of the Baltimore Ravens during NFL football games.

Gerry began his broadcasting career in Miami, Florida. He has now been at the local news station WBAL (NBC) in Baltimore, MD since 1988.

If he is not broadcasting on TV, Radio or Podcasts, Gerry can be found giving speeches or providing consultation as a Leadership Communication Coach.

Gerry is a tremendous storyteller that is always polished, even when we are “off script.” However, his rise to being one of the best in the industry didn’t happen over night. He faced many challenges and learned many lessons along his way. His story and journey is quite entertaining. I hope you enjoy.
