Background

About David Goriola

I'm a Strategic Communication graduate with a passion for storytelling, media relations, and digital content creation, especially within the world of sports. Over the past several years, I’ve worked across collegiate and professional athletics, contributing to organizations like USA Baseball, the Arlington Renegades (UFL), and the University of Houston Athletics Communications Department. My experience ranges from writing compelling feature stories, recaps, and press releases to managing media operations, credentialing, and social content strategy. I’ve been part of high-profile events including the NCAA Final Four, College Football Playoff National Championship, and the Big 12 Basketball Tournaments, where I served in media and pressbox coordination roles. Outside of communications, I’m a dedicated photographer with over seven years of experience capturing the emotion of athletic events, but also the uniqueness of the human experience, as I have also created storytelling photography projects over the last year. Whether behind a camera or in front of a blank document, I’m always looking for the next story to tell. Currently, I am based in Dallas, I’m continuing to grow in the world of sports communications and digital storytelling, always eager to create, connect, and learn.
