Career
Faust started his broadcasting career as a student at Northeastern University, calling Huskies basketball and ice hockey on WRBB, the student radio station. After graduating from Northeastern, he worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers as a data analyst and consultant.[4] He called select radio games for the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League from 2013 to 2015, filling in for Brendan Burke.[5]
Looking to pursue a full-time career in broadcasting, Faust left PwC to freelance as an announcer, calling games for NBC Sports, NESN, ESPN, and Westwood One. He was hired to call college basketball games by NESN, and worked his way up to the lead play-by-play announcer for their coverage of Hockey East games.
Faust calls college football, college basketball, and Major League Baseball games for Fox Sports.[6] He had been named the television play-by-play voice for the Los Angeles Kings in June 2017, succeeding long-time Kings announcer Bob Miller.[7] He called select Boston Red Sox games for NESN in 2019, filling in for Dave O'Brien when O'Brien had ACC Network commitments.[8]
On June 5, 2023, the Kings opted not to renew Faust's contract amid the combination of their radio and TV broadcast groups in the wake of Diamond Sports Group bankruptcy, who own Bally Sports.[9] However, he was hired as fill-in play-by-play announcer for the Boston Bruins on NESN and New York Rangers on radio.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
In Week 4 of the 2023 NFL Season, Faust filled in for either Brandon Gaudin or Jason Benetti on the matchup for the Minnesota at Carolina game along with analyst Brady Quinn.[16]
Personal life
He currently resides in Southern California with his wife Carolyn.
In a 2018 interview with TMZ, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek suggested Faust, as well as CNN legal analyst Laura Coates, as potential successors at host.[2] Trebek noted that he had given Faust's name to the show's producers.[17]
