In this episode of I Can’t Believe I’m 60! From Hoops to Hip Replacement, Brian sits down with legendary voice of DC-area sports, Byron Kerr, a conversation made even more fun by their double connection.
First, in Brian’s former life as an educator, Byron’s kids attended his school. Small world, right? Second and maybe more full-circle, Byron has been the play-by-play voice of George Washington Basketball for the past two decades, while Brian played at GW(1983-1987)… just a few years before he started calling games 😉.
Byron’s story is one of movement, passion, and finding your voice literally.
✈️ From Air Force Brat to Virginia Fixture
Raised as an Air Force brat, Byron grew up everywhere from Alabama and New York to Japan, Colorado, Nebraska, California, and Virginia. That early exposure to the world fueled a lifelong love of travel, whether across the U.S. or throughout Europe.
He’s also a diehard sports fan who loves being in the building including attending two Super Bowls in person.
Byron has called Virginia home since the 1980s, attending Woodbridge High School and later UVA, where he earned an Army ROTC scholarship. A multi-sport athlete, he played basketball and tennis in high school.
