Before becoming the Nationals" radio announcer, Slowes was previously a familiar voice in the Washington, District of Columbia sports market when he was the radio voice of the Washington Bullets from 1986 to 1997. After eleven seasons with the Bullets, he joined the expansion Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 1998 as their radio play-by-play announcer, a position he held until 2004 when he joined the Nationals the next year. Since 2006, he has teamed with Dave Jageler for Washington Nationals broadcasts.
He is also well known for his histrionics and the high energy nature of his calls during excited periods of play.
A native of The Bronx, New York City, and a 1983 graduate of Fordham University, Slowes had also called play-by-play for the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets. He began his career at KMOX Radio in Saint Louis where he worked alongside broadcasting greats Jack Buck and Bob Costas.
He has also worked for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, National Broadcasting Company Sports, Columbia Broadcasting System Radio Sports, Mutual/Westwood One, SportsPhone and the minor league American Automobile Association Tidewater Tides.
