ABOUT ME

Welcome! I'm TJ Wengert and this is my website, where you can see a variety of the different broadcast work I have been fortunate enough to do through my career. 

I'm currently a freelance broadcaster based in Richmond Virginia, working mostly with VCU, UNC-Greensboro, and Longwood University. Previously I was the Director of Digital Media at the University of Lynchburg, where as the "Voice of the Hornets" I called approximately 150 games year-round for 14 different sports: M/W soccer, M/W basketball, M/W lacrosse, M/W track, M/W swimming, equestrian, field hockey, volleyball, baseball and softball. Additionally, I maintained the staff and created content for LHSN (which is the home for Lynchburg athletics digital content) such as postgame interviews and highlights, creative/hype videos for teams, podcasts and a weekly recap show to list a few examples. 

Earlier in my career, I was given the opportunity to work with organizations, such as the Tri-City Chili Peppers, Randolph-Macon College, ESPN 3, the A-10 Conference, WMLU 91.3 FM, 92.9 FM Kickin Country, in addition to previously being the voice of the Morehead City Marlins. 

I'm a graduate of Longwood University where I studied Communication Studies with a concentration in Digital Media, and was a Military History minor.
