I'm a Western Michigan and Specs Howard School of Broadcasting graduate. For as long as I can remember, sports have been my passion.As a freelance writer for The Detroit News, I have covered anything and everything as it pertains to sports in the state of Michigan. It really has been amazing that I've worked myself into a place where I've interviewed some of the world's best athletes.As far as what Tigers baseball means to me: It represents those seemingly never-ending summers as a kid. Tiger Stadium was easily one of the best places on earth when I was growing up in the 1990s. I consider myself lucky to be part of the last generation that holds some memories from the corner of Michigan and Trumbull.
