For the last 13 years, writing about sports and surrounding topics in York and Adams Counties has consumed the majority of my professional life. Nothing makes me prouder than to know I've had a hand in helping to help fans appreciate the achievements of local athletes from the area in which I grew up.I’ve covered high school athletics not because I’m a sports junky but because I believe the playing field is an amazing laboratory where the spontaneous peaks and valleys of the human condition unfold before our eyes. There’s no better place to study the growth of a person’s will and spirit.I've had a fantastic time documenting these efforts on our website, www.gettysburgtimes.com/sports/highschool as well as on my twitter account: @GoodOleTwoNames. I also assist in editing and paginating our paper using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.I'm skilled in research, photography, video production and editing and writing of all varieties. InDesign suggests I mention that I am a media and communication professional with a BA focused in Journalism from Penn State University, so there's that.
