"GOOD IS NOT GOOD, WHEN BETTER IS EXPECTED"
-VIN SCULLY

HI, MY NAME IS JOSIAH WONNELL

Few things excite me more than telling a story. Vocally, written, and visually. It doesn't matter. I love storytelling. Maybe that's why at ten years old I decided to become a sports broadcaster. I wanted to do a job connected with something I love: sports, but also something that allowed me to tell a story. One of my favorite stories?

DIFFERENT STYLES OF STORYTELLING

VOICE.

Throughout High School, I self-produced and provided live play-by-play for over 100 broadcasts across multiple sports—including men’s and women’s basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball.

WRITTEN.

As a writer for IONYOU MEDIA, I have covered various sporting events, writing and reporting for IONYOU's site. My writings have included feature stories, match recaps, and more.

COLLABORATION

Collaboration is the fruit of my labor, as I work to develop high-quality products to some of the biggest brands in the world to my local government and food pantry.

At the time, I was enrolled in the E-Communication Academy at my local high school, fully engaged in my goal of becoming a sports broadcaster. However, I found myself struggling in other areas of my life, leading to a challenging decision. Ultimately, I chose to follow my siblings and spend my final two years at a private school, leaving behind a robust journalism program for a school that offered little in terms of media training...
