I was just curious about how you got a job in sports journalism at the age of 18? And was wondering if you went to college for sports journalism. I have interest in sports journalism, so I thought this would interesting info to get from you.

Sure! I started out as a sports clerk for the Lincoln Journal Star as a senior in high school. Basically just answering phones and writing up high school box scores. That led to some small stuff like covering Lincoln Saltdogs and Stars road games on the radio and writing up short game stories.
