Blessed with the gift of gab and a hunger to exceed internal expectations, Victor Jaymes is a talented producer and storyteller, specializing in sports and pop culture topics, based in Austin, Texas.
Born and raised in Southern California, Victor learned a love of sports, history and culture from his upbringing in an ethnically diverse and eclectic family.

He also has experience in front of the camera as an Emmy-nominated sports anchor and podcast host. These lanes help display his skills for writing, shooting video, and leadership capabilities.
In 2024, he created “Everybody Gotta Podcast” to expound on his passion for sports and culture with a variety of guests. The show focuses on why guests love the sports and cultural topics they do in a part interview-style, part free flowing chat structure. Victor loves storytelling, so the opportunity to expose his audience to his guests’ stories is why he started the show.
