Bio

Jen Mueller is an Emmy-award winning producer and sports broadcaster. She is heading into her 15th season as the Seattle Seahawks sideline radio reporter and is a member of the Seattle Mariners television broadcast team on ROOT SPORTS. Jen specializes in building relationships, delivering meaningful content in short bursts from the sidelines and dodging Gatorade baths during post-game interviews. 

Throughout her 23-year career she has been on the sidelines of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA and college football and basketball games. Jen was honored for her work in the industry in 2022, as the recipient of the Keith Jackson Media Excellence Award presented by the Seattle Sports Commission. 

In addition to her work on the sidelines, Jen is established as a business communication expert and the founder of Talk Sporty to Me. She delivers keynote presentations that motivate and inspire. Jen works with companies that want to level up their communication skills and provides actionable conversation strategies based on her locker room experiences and interviewing skills. You could say it’s an outside the box approach. Jen would call it thinking outside the box scores and she’s outlined her approach in the three books she’s published.

Jen is also the executive producer, host and creator of “I Cook, You Measure” a cooking show that’s part cooking instruction, part entertainment and all about connecting over food and wine. The show debuted in February 2023 on YouTube. 

And none of this was on her radar when she graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2000 with degrees in Broadcast Journalism and Public Policy.
