“My career path was, I’ll be the Timbers radio voice in my 20s.”
John Strong always knew what he wanted to do.
“In my 30s, I’ll maybe transition to being to Timbers TV voice. Maybe in my 40s, I can make the leap to national broadcasting, because that’s normally a more typical career path.”
Nothing about his broadcasting career has been normal, though. From broadcasting Lake Oswego High School games while he was still attending that school to the improvised internet broadcasts of Portland Timbers’ A-League games, before the medium had fully matured, Strong always made sure his career was ahead of schedule.
