Torien Pippens bio:

Torien Pippens, from Hueytown, Alabama, is a devoted husband and father of three with a
passion for storytelling. His journey began in high school, working through his church and
finding a voice in media. In 2011, he enrolled at Auburn University, where he joined the volunteer
news station and later moved into sports production. When the SEC Network launched in 2014,
Torien gained valuable experience in broadcast television.

After graduating in 2016, he landed a job as a camera operator for ESPN. Over the next five and
a half years he traveled the country, capturing live sports for ESPN — and eventually branching
out to work on productions for CBS, ABC, NBC, Golf Channel and others. A highlight for Torien
was following Tiger Woods at the Masters Tournament in 2022.

Today, Torien is entering his fourth year as a director for ESPN — a role that lets him shape how
viewers experience the stories behind the game.
