Spoke with @PWHL_Hamilton GM @mduggan10 this morning for an upcoming story for @NEPSAC Magazine, where we talk life changing moments at @CushingAcademy, juggling family and a career, @usahockey, and her biggest message to her team heading into @thepwhlofficial training camp.
“As an expansion team, we have to create an environment and culture from the beginning. That’s what allows us to build something special off and on the ice. The expectation is to win.” - @PWHL_Hamilton GM @mduggan10
Training camp opens on November 18 at Morgan Firestone Arena.
A fitting journey to be able to cover Nico in Portland with @trailblazers, at @EuroBasket in Lithuania with @FRABasketball, and in Nancy, France with @SLUCbasketNancy...enjoy retirement @nicolas88batum and thank you always for the talks. 🙏🙏🙏
After picking up copies of @SLAMonline in Norfolk in high school, and taking radio broadcasting classes at @northeastedu, to wrapping up the manuscript in town last year, this one has come full circle. Thank you to the @NorfolkNews for reaching out and writing. 🙏

While taking part at a recent authors event, I was asked how much time is really spent promoting and marketing a new book release. My answer came quickly, despite the slow response to growing your readership: One day at a time and with lots of help along the way.
Thanks to the conversations and support from people like @johncanzanobft, @double5 at @WGCHSports @timallanwalker at @WPTV, @SportsChump, and @ben_drozd with @NorfolkNews, the reviews are in and continue to grow.

"...it’s refreshing to read articles from a reporter who spent his life genuinely telling a story the way it should be told, informatively, enthusiastically, honest and without bias, with a flair that highlights the personal."
Much thanks to @SportsChump for the kind words!
Book Review of @w_maxey's Called For Travelling --> sportschump.net/2026/09/11/b…
If you would have told me last year at this time that I would be getting ready to take part in a local authors event at a Florida brewery, I'd probably ask what you have been sipping on?
Thanks to Heidi Hess with @readitwriteitfl for the assist, you can find me with paperback and hardcover copies in hand this Saturday at Books At The Brewery at Coastal Karma Brewing from 4-8pm. Stop by to raise a glass and turn a page. 🥃

"Family is everything in this business."
I lock-up with Captain Maverick on @Substack about his quest to regain the Danger Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Championship, the San Diego-based promotion becoming a career blessing, & the sacred life under the mask.

Handed down from a wrestling legend’s widow in an old orange duffle bag, @richpatterson1's "Playboy" Buddy Rose's VHS tapes (600 hours and counting) keep getting better with age. 📼

"The impact you have on a young athlete goes way beyond the field."
I go 1v1 with @RealJasonKidd in this latest Q&A for @HighSchoolOnSI, where we discuss his love for baseball, being raised on the Oakland A's, and taking his cuts with @JKselectBSB.
