Milestones

My road in life took a while to figure out.
Grew up in an athletic family (youngest of four boys).
Majored in journalism, so I could write for Sports Illustrated.
Interned with a baseball team in college.
Took a risk and joined Roadtrip Nation instead of taking another baseball internship.
Took a job with an advertising agency as an Interactive Copywriter (and hated it).
Quit my job after two months and moved from Iowa to California to intern in baseball (again).
Stayed in California and freelanced until I could find a job in sports.
Found my current job managing and advising social media accounts on five different continents.

Day to Day

Every day is different, but throughout the day I'm constantly working with other teams and interacting with various fans. On event days, I'm updating social media accounts to give fans a behind-the-scenes look into the sport.
