Walk-On This Way: An unexpected, amazing experience

I never thought I’d write or co-write a book, ever—especially back when I was in high school. I got by and tolerated my AP English courses before heading to UW. I was lucky to get a “3” on both language and literature sections, and thankfully those credits helped me graduate from UW on time four years later.

Truth be told, I wanted to become a meteorologist. I grew up idolizing Jim Cantore and the staff of the Weather Channel, but AP Calculus and Honors Physics shattered my dreams my senior year of high school.

I never expected to be in the sports media game, or a sportswriter for that matter.
