Behler is currently in his 15th season as the play-by-play voice of both Boise State football and men's basketball.

Behler has also freelanced CBS Radio, calling NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament games, and for ESPN Radio, providing SportsCenter updates.
He received his bachelor's degree in broadcast news from Georgia in 1985, where he announced women's basketball and baseball. A native of Stockton, Calif., he started his broadcasting career in high school doing local sports.
