About

I am a complete sports nut who is currently the sports editor at the Vilas County News-Review in Eagle River, Wis. When I’m not covering high school sports locally, I enjoy watching the Bucks, Brewers, Badgers and Packers. If I’m not working or watching sports, I am likely up north with my family or hanging out with friends.
