I’m more removed from my student-athlete days than I’ve ever been, yet the juggling never ceases. At this point, it’s who I am.

Post-college, each of my friends seemed to find their path. As I tried to the same, it became necessary to balance multiple jobs. Strength coach. Personal baseball lessons. Journalism — which entails more than one focus on its own.

Since sophomore year of high school, writing has been home. That’s truer now than ever, in a time where it’s appreciated even less than when I graduated.

These days, you’ll find my work at DraftKings, for whom I’m a content specialist. Once again, juggling — writing, editing, on-air, and (somehow) more.

As if that’s not enough, I’m spending more and more time in the comic book space. The TLDR Comic Book Club podcast has featured some of the biggest names in the industry. My first bit of comics writing was published in Scott Snyder Present: The CloakRoom #1. In time, I hope to share more of what I’ve worked on.

Getting to this point required a lot of freelance work and part-time roles along the way. It started with the Standard-Times (New Bedford, MA) — the paper that covered my high school athletic career — which lead to stops at CSNNE (now NBC Sports Boston), USA TODAY Sports Media Group, and WEEI.com. (Plus, a few appearances in the Providence Journal and a random one-off at the Boston Herald, courtesy of an ex-Red Sox manager.)

Those writing journeys also led to on-air work at 1480 WSAR (Fall River, MA), WPRI/Fox Providence, WPRO, and WEEI.

From high school sports to working the Boston Celtics and Red Sox beats, the stories seem endless.

Of course, that wasn’t enough. Some contributions were made to ScreenRant and CBR before consistently writing for Geeks WorldWide, which helped lead to TLDR’s inception.

It’s a lot, I know. There’ve been times where I felt it, too. (Particularly on the night’s I got back from the TD Garden at 2 a.m.)

But in an ever-changing profession, balancing a lot somehow has always made things feel more stable.

I’ve enjoyed the ride. If you’ve been on-board since Day 1 or are just finding me, I appreciate you taking the time to read this.

If you’ve made it this far — or skipped to the end — here are some other quick hits:
