As the 2010s wrap up and the 2020s are ushered in, I want to take some time to reflect on the past decade of my life. It was 10 years full of joy, sorrow, and growth for me. I kicked off 2010 by winning a trip to New York City and Washington, D.C. It was [...]
I've just completed my fourth season with the Durham Bulls. Woah. It's hard to fathom that I began my journey with the best sports organization in the country - okay, maybe I'm a tad biased - four years ago. I was fresh out of college and knew I wanted to work in local sports. I [...]
