An award-winning journalist, producer and director, Hannah Storm is a pioneer in the field of sports broadcasting for women along with being a published author, an advocate for children suffering from debilitating vascular birthmarks, and most importantly, a mother of three. Storm joined ESPN in 2008 and currently serves as an ESPN SportsCenter anchor. She also leads the network’s coverage of significant events across the sports world such as the recent celebration of life services after the passing of NBA legend Kobe Bryant. She also previously hosted and executive produced ESPN’s primetime interview specials - In Focus with Hannah Storm and Face to Face with Hannah Storm - where she interviewed various newsmakers in sports.

In 2018, Storm made sports broadcasting history once again when she, along with veteran sports broadcaster Andrea Kremer, became the first female duo to call a NFL game as part of Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football. She also called NFL games for Amazon during the 2019 NFL season.

2008 proved to be a pivotal year in Storm’s career as she launched two impressive businesses – Brainstormin’ Productions and the Hannah Storm Foundation. Brainstormin’ Productions is a production company driven to create unique content including documentaries, short films and other branded content. Examples of past projects that have been praised by the film community include Danica – a documentary in conjunction with EPIX on racing superstar Danica Patrick that was honored at the New York Film Festival – and content projects for major brands such as Under Armour and Secret. The Hannah Storm Foundation was established to advocate for children and parents of children suffering from debilitating vascular birthmarks.
