“Our sports reporting at Scripps News is not driven by scores and highlights which can be found in hundreds of other places. It’s driven by providing insight and information from something that touches every person, in every walk of life, in one way or another.
Covering sports has literally taken me across the country and around the world. It has allowed me to witness some of the biggest events and speak with some of the greatest athletes our games have ever known. All the while, I have appreciated every moment and continue to look forward to what comes next.”
