Currently Associate Producer of the English Premier League at NBC Sports, Ouellette has experience producing for major events including the Paris Olympics. Prior to working at NBC, he spent five years at ESPN, contributing to iconic programs such as ESPN FC, EURO 2020, Formula 1, and SportsCenter.

This year, Principia College’s Solar Car team not only notched another impressive underdog performance; they became the unsung—and unlikely—heroes of the race.
