Ep. 79: Professor in the Department of Sport Management at Syracuse University, Dennis Deninger: How He Took His Expansive Career in Production and Started Incorporating His Craft into Lesson Plans - a podcast by Grit Player Services

How the f**k did Dennis Deninger go from working in radio to being part of one of the first teams at ESPN? Dennis graduated from Syracuse University in 1973. Five years after leaving Syracuse, he started working as an Executive Producer for WSVN Channel 7. In 1991, he started as a Coordinating Producer for ESPN in Bristol, Connecticut. In his 14 years at ESPN, Dennis rose to become Head of Digital Video Production for the company. During that time he also started teaching as a professor at his alma mater. After his time at ESPN, in 2008, Dennis started the company Deninger Media and produced a documentary called “America’s First Sport” about the game of lacrosse. He also began working as a full-time professor in Syracuse’s Sports Management department. Today he is still a professor at Falk college and continues to produce content. So how did he end up in working jobs that didn’t even exist while he was beginning his career path?
