About Sorgi Stories

Anthony, Carrie and Jay Sorgi tell stories here. Sacred, often subtly. Sometimes song. Sometimes sports. Encountering. Engaging. Embracing all. Empathetic. Encouraging. From a compassion-centered Catholic love. (Enough alliteration?)

Jay, a Milwaukee native, is a longtime veteran news and sports reporter and storyteller for heritage media outlets like KYW Newsradio and WTMJ Radio. He also served national networks and worldwide brands like the Green Bay Packers Radio Network for which he gave 22 years, 18 on-air as a feature reporter and studio anchor.

Now, he tells stories for more than 20 Catholic dioceses from Miami to New York to Oakland, religious orders like the Josephites, national news outlets such as America Magazine and Marian Press, and nonprofits like the St. Vincent de Paul Society, along with his own content platforms. He is also author of Greater Than the Games, a study of Olympic host city bids through the lens of his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin - a city and region unexpectedly equipped to host the Games. He still dabbles in sports stories, too.

For greater insight into why Jay’s focusing on Catholic storytelling:

Anthony is a growing sports reporter and commentator for WSJP and covers the Philadelphia Catholic League, one of the top high school sports conferences in America for basketball and football, through the PCL Sports Network which he and fellow Philly-area students co-founded.

Carrie, a proud West Virginia native? Stay tuned.

The Sorgi family now proudly calls the Philadelphia area home while trying to reach all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums for games with their hometown Milwaukee Brewers: 18 down, 12 to go. (Don’t worry. They also love Philly teams.)
