This has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but never really had the confidence to start until now. I don’t have a traditional journalism background (and it will show from time to time), but I do enjoy telling stories, so here goes nothing.
I’ve consumed more sports content in the last few years than some people will in a lifetime. Games, podcasts, articles, you name it. As a recreation and sport management grad, it makes sense, since it’s the world in which I chose to live. However, it’s the stories that go beyond the surface that catch my attention. I long for the days of Grantland, but The Athletic and The Ringer have sufficed as time goes on. Inspired by my favorite work, I’ve decided to throw my hat in the ring with Orange Colored Glasses.
As some of you may know, I’m a graduate of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I’m not a lifelong Vol fan, nor did I immediately fall in love with everything about Knoxville. Instead, I grew to appreciate the people and things that make UT a unique and wonderful place, and thus have become a Big Orange enthusiast with no plans to stop any time soon.
My debut piece is in the works, and I’m excited to share it with you all. Thank you for your support and I’ll see you soon!
