Corey Johns Email and Phone Number

I am the owner, operator and Editor in Chief of both SoMuchSports.com and Baltimore.SoMuchSports.com, regularly interacting with media relations personnel and handling a team of interns who also cover games that I myself cannot cover live. So Much Sports Baltimore is a credentialed media outlet that focused primarily on local college athletics while also providing sports commentary on anything involving sports.

I am a bail bonds agent, working long hours, sometimes even 70 hours a week and 15 hour or more days. I do a lot of face-to-face and by phone communication. I also regularly write petitions and strikes to be submitted to the court and manage a team of other bail bondsman during my shifts.

My duties include writing pre and post game stories, season outlooks, live tweeting games, handling press conferences and media relations.

As a writer for catonsville.patch.com I was to write a weekly/semi-weekly, question and answer with a UMBC athlete that I has the freedom to choose. I would also occasionally be asked to write season previews, post-game recaps, or even live blog sporting events.

In 2009 I wanted to get more experience writing and this website allowed more a practice of more immediate deadlines that The Retriever Weekly did not provide. This website also gave me more freedom to learn how to use various webpage editing programs and allowed for deeper coverage of every varsity sports at UMBC on a level that The Retriever Weekly did not allow for.

As Managing Editor I guided the coverage for a 2,000 – circulation student weekly, including the oversight of website and print redesign and the relaunch of its blogs. I wrote for every section but most-frequently sports, including the coverage of all 16 varsity sports UMBC offers as well as various club sports. I covered eight America East Conference basketball tournaments and five different NCAA tournaments, including men’s basketball, men’s lacrosse, and men’s soccer. Coverage for other sections included concert recaps, such as Snoop Dogg, opinions of the issues relating to UMBC, and various other stories. Was a guest on several radio shows in the four-year span. As a production assistant I laid out the sports section every week using Adobe InDesign.
