"I am extraordinarily excited to have Kevin join our team here at Temple as we prepare to produce athletic events for ESPN+ in Fall 2020," said Kevin Copp, Associate AD of Video Production. "In my time at the Ivy League, I had the privilege of observing Kevin's great work leading Brown University through their transition to ESPN+, and I have no doubt that he's the perfect fit to elevate our video production here at Temple."
"I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining Temple Athletics and am grateful that Kevin Copp has trusted me to help oversee the department's partnership with ESPN," said Hession. "The Temple brand is synonymous with Philadelphia sports, and I'm excited to showcase our programs on a national stage."

Additonally, he served as a multimedia consultant for several facility upgrades, including Attanasio Family Field, the Brown Softball Field and the press box at Stevenson-Pincince Field.

He also served as an independent camera operator for a variety of events: the NASCAR Cup Series, WNBA, the NBA Gatorade League, NCAA Championships and radio show simulcasts for the New England Patriots and Brown University Athletics.
