Jordan Bernfield grew up in suburban Chicago, and the Cubs have always been his greatest sports passion. Ever since he can remember, he was going to Wrigley Field and supporting the team, through thick and thin. Now he is thrilled to be working with his good friend Brian Bedo as a co-host of "B-Squared" on 312Sports Radio.
Bernfield has been working as a Chicago sportscaster for the past year and a half. Most notably, Bernfield serves as the men's basketball host at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), with the games airing on Chicago's ESPN Radio 1000 (WMVP-AM) and ESPNChicago.com. In addition, he is the voice of UIC women's basketball, baseball, softball and volleyball.
A Deerfield native, Bernfield also produces sports programming, including the Cubs, Blackhawks and Northwestern Athletics at Chicago's WGN Radio 720 (WGN-AM), while also reporting at games. Furthermore, he produced "Sports Central", and will produce Cubs postgame shows while also covering the team at Wrigley Field throughout the season.
Bernfield graduated from Syracuse University in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism. He got his start in radio at WAER-FM, the student radio station, where broadcasted Syracuse football, men's basketball and lacrosse games, and also anchored and reported local sports. He also worked in minor league baseball, as his first job out of school was serving as the director of broadcasting and media relations for the Auburn Doubledays, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.
