Ray Ellis: Broadcasting and Digital Media Guru

Ray Ellis played seven seasons in the NFL for the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles. Ellis is proud to have played for legendary Ohio State coach, Woody Hayes, who taught him that “the great thing about football is that when you get knocked down, you get up and go again.”

Ellis’ post-NFL life maps nicely to Hayes’ quote of getting back up. Ellis, a self-described serial entrepreneur, has funded and operated a plethora of ventures since leaving the NFL (i.e., microbrewery, commercial real estate, publishing, software development, workforce development).

He currently serves as the Sports Director for Voice America Sports, where his is responsible for creating sports-related talk shows. Ellis has build a niche by providing former football players with a platform to work on their craft as journalists. He also hosts his own show, Ray Ellis Sports.

Ellis and PSL own the exclusive rights to PNE’s Handle Your Business, a four-hour broadcast designed to profile successful athletes and the challenges associated with transitioning from sports
