Global Connections, Inc.
I managed most of the social media sites for a dozen of the travel club’s different services, along with managing contributions from colleagues. My main responsibilities involved running the accounts of GCI’s most prominent service, Global Discovery Vacations:
The Shawnee Dispatch
Served as the publication’s sports reporter, covering various events across the Kansas City metro.
- I was supposed to write a vanilla summer update, but some coaches are too good for idle chit-chat.
- Former NFL lineman Ryan Lilja helped out a high school football camp in exchange for yard-work.
- Two teams, two sets of sibling trios. I’ve done several twin features, so this was the natural progression.
- It was a tough day at the track for this KU football hopeful.
- Local quarterback learns lessons on mortality and redefines a football program.
- A football gamer about a team who just won its league title in impressive fashion.
- A fluffy offseason assignment turned into a legitimate story about the history of a soccer program. There are some changes I would make to the writing, but I got the most I could out of this story. I love the ending.
- This football season preview almost wrote itself. So many good quotes and information.
- A graduate from a local high school is now one of the top collegiate discus throwers in the nation.
- College punter tries to become drafted by an NFL team.
Lawrence Journal-World
- The underdog of the in-state soccer rivalry pulled the upset. A tale of joy, disappointment and respect.
- A team without its top three quarterbacks starts a running back… and wins.
- This football gamer follows the one listed below. Maybe my best work at LJW.
- High school team wins big, but loses a key player to a gruesome injury. This was one of the more tragic events I have covered.
- I love cross country, as I used to run and coach it myself. This article has a couple of my favorite interviews and is a change of pace from the big-time sports.
The University Daily Kansan
As with all of our early works, I wrote some good pieces and some I wish would never see the light of day. Since the Kansan changed its website, I’ve had to find new links from stories and I can’t find all of them. I’m working on it. These are my favorite five:
My peers say this was my best work. I saw a story about the Morris twins that was not being covered, so I did my own digging. No other outlet had this type of story. Online version. 
I wanted this to be the definitive account of Sherron Collins’ life leading up to his last game at Allen Fieldhouse. This took immense reporting. 
Jason Mraz made an impromptu visit to the University, which surprised everyone in Lawrence. I am a huge fan of his and my editors told me I should cover it. I was one of two media members there and it was a delightful experience. 
I wanted to fill in for our softball writer when she went out of town because I needed to feel the thrill of doing a game recap again. What I found was much more endearing. KU softball player Rosie Hull tweeted about her mother’s cancer and I asked if it was OK to talk to about the subject. The Hull sisters were very emotional during the interview, but answered everything with class. They even thanked me individually for doing the story, which made it that much more rewarding. 
Seeing the players after Kansas lost to Northern Iowa was a painful experience. It’s amazing how an emotional game can bring out the best in your abilities. Everyone who covered this game wrote a great story, and I’m proud of my piece as well. It has even been quoted in blogs.
