Simon was born and raised in New York City, where he first began his journalism career as a sportswriter and podcast producer. During his time at the University of Miami, Simon anchored and reported for the school's student-run television station, UMTV. He spent four years working for the station's sports show, SportsDesk, and also hosted his own commentary segment called Simon Says. Before moving to Colorado, Simon worked as a sports producer for the local FOX station in Miami, WSVN.
Outside the studio, Simon is a passionate New York sports fan. He also loves music, especially classic rock and hip-hop. Simon spends most weekends cheering on the Miami Hurricanes football team, and unfortunately for him, watching the Jets.
