When Tweed Thornton gave me a call 10 years ago and said that I was going to go from community member and commenter to active contributor, I never would have pictured becoming Managing Editor of Hot Time in Old Town. I was a fresh-faced 20-year-old coming off my second year at the University of Missouri who liked talking and writing about soccer, but really no one to share that passion with. But With Hot Time, I had that outlet.
I took to writing and reporting on the club with relish, and even in some of the years I wasn’t around on the site all that much; I went back to school in 2016, I still maintained my connection through the Hot Time twitter, where to this day I live-tweet Fire games for both your and my entertainment.
