Episode Milestone Alert – number 50! The voice of Walton High School – Mark Aston – joins us on Sports ‘N Torts. Originally from Columbus, GA, Mark played football at Auburn University and was an Offensive Tackle for Bo Jackson. Mark has always been passionate about sports and from an early age knew he that if wasn’t playing sports he wanted to be involved in announcing sports. This passion led him on a journey from calling professional wrestling matches with Ric Flair to LA working with John Wooden at UCLA and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to the War Eagles Network in Auburn. Currently, Mark announces Football, Basketball and Lacrosse for Walton High School in Marietta, GA.

Mark is also a Voice Over Actor. Working previously in Hollywood and now at his at-home studio, you have likely heard Mark’s voice on such networks as MTV, CBS, ESPN, Fox and for such companies as  Ford, Pepsi, Disney, Walmart, Miller Brewing, Six Flags and Medieval Times. He shares his “calls” on the podcast and even makes my wife going to Publix to shop for ingredients for Taco Tuesday sound interesting.

Currently, Mark is one of 12 finalist for the Atlanta Braves PA Announcer Job. After a nationwide search with countless resumes and auditions submitted, the search is down to 12. Hear about the interview process, how Mark would approach the job, and why he wants the job. Mark reads through the starting lineup as if he voice was being piped through Truist Park. 

An all around fun episode with an entertaining guy who sure has lived an interesting life.
