Jerry Schemmel: Basketball Sportscaster

JERRY SCHEMMEL
Basketball Sportscaster


Jerry Schemmel has been the radio voice of the Denver Nuggets since 1992. His sportscasting career spans 16 years and includes radio and television play by play of college football and basketball as well as the NBA. He also spent one year as deputy commissioner and general legal counsel for the Continental Basketball Association.

On July 19, 1989, Schemmel boarded United Airlines Flight 232, originating in Denver and bound for Chicago. An in-flight engine explosion forced the crippled plane to crash land in Sioux City, Iowa, killing 112 of the 296 onboard. After escaping the burning plane, Schemmel reentered the wreckage and rescued an 11 month old baby.

Schemmel is the author of the book Chosen To Live. Chosen To Live chronicles the crash of Flight 232 and its subsequent effects on his life. The book has been featured in such publications as Reader's Digest, Hoop Magazine, Sports Spectrum and Guideposts.

Schemmel has been a guest on several national and international television programs, including "Regis and Kathi Lee," "48 Hours," "CBS This Morning," "Turning Point," "Eye Witness Video," "The Today Show," "Good Morning America," "The Hour of Power" and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Schemmel grew up in Madison, SD and now resides in Littleton, CO with his wife Diane, eight year old daughter, Maggie, and two year old son, Ryan.
