# Pablo S. Torre

Pablo Sison Torre (born September 27, 1985) is an American sportswriter, podcaster, and television host. He hosts Pablo Torre Finds Out with Meadowlark Media. He previously hosted and contributed to various programs at ESPN, including the television program High Noon with Bomani Jones and the podcast ESPN Daily.

## Education

Torre, whose father Pablo is a urologist and mother a dermatologist, attended Regis High School in New York City. (Torre once humorously referred to his father as "the LeBron James of Filipino urologists.") He graduated from Harvard College magna cum laude with highest honors in sociology in 2007, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa society. There, he wrote a 114-page thesis entitled Sympathy for the Devil? Child Homicide, Victim Characteristics, and the Sentencing Preferences of the American Conscience, which won the Albert M. Fulton Prize for best thesis in the field of sociology. He contributed to the college newspaper, The Harvard Crimson, and became an executive editor.

## Career

Upon graduating from Harvard, Torre joined Sports Illustrated as a staff writer, where his focuses included sports investigations, boxing, and basketball. His 2009 award-winning article, "How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke", along with two follow-up reports, spurred an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the investment firm Triton Financial for defrauding investors in a multimillion-dollar scam. A federal jury would later find Triton's CEO Kurt Barton guilty of criminal charges. Broke, an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, prominently featured Torre, and was based on his research.
