T. Eder - Illinois

"I was a basketball and footbal l coach for nearly 40 years in Illinois before becoming a high school administrator. I have worked with hundreds of sports broadcasters over the time. These past two year, I have had the pleasure of listening to Slaten's broadcasts. His incredible skills are so obvious to trained and casual listeners alike!..He has a mature voice and approach.

D. Galloway - SIUC

"Slaten worked on several of our ESPN+ telecasts as a cameraman, assistant director, and as on-air talent. I have observed his rapid progress & success in the operations, technical & creative aspects of our productions. His knowledge increased rapidly, and I had no
problems of giving him assignments with little input because I had so
much confidence in his abilities."
