David Lloyd is one of ESPN’s longest-running anchors. He’s been with the network for 27 years. Right now, he’s the 7 a.m. host of Sports Center.
Before ESPN, David was a sportscaster in Macon, Georgia; Charleston, South Carolina; Sacramento, and San Diego.
He’s a native Westporter, and a graduate of Staples High School and Colgate University.
The other day, David hustled down to the Westport Library from Bristol, and reversed roles: He was the interviewee, not the interviewer.
We chatted about the sports landscape when he was a young athlete here; his route to ESPN; memorable moments from his career, and what it’s like working for the “worldwide leader in sports.”
But we also talked about The Susan Fund. For 40 years, the non-profit organization that provides scholarships for students with cancer has honored the legacy of his late sister. That work is as meaningful as anything David does.

David is a great ambassador for the Susan Fund and Susan was a strong and inspiring young lady!
