2. My passion for sports has always been around since I was 5 years
old. Growing up I played many different sports such as football,
basketball soccer but I wasn’t sure if I could make a career out of
doing something with sports whether it’d be playing, officiating, or
even broadcasting. After graduating high school even though I knew
my playing days were behind me I wanted to still be part of the
sports that I love so I starting officiating youth and adult flag football
and soccer. My goal is to continue working on my passion to be
become a play-by-play sports broadcaster.

Methodology:
Forbes valued more than 200 global brands by looking at three years of earnings and allocating a percentage of those earnings based on the role brands play in each industry (e.g., high for luxury goods and beverages, low for airlines and oil companies). We applied the average price-to-earnings multiple over the past three years to these earnings to arrive at the final brand value.
