Hi, I’m Justin …

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. Thanks for stopping by.

I’ve been writing for most of my life. Books. Newspaper articles. Academic research papers. Statements. News releases. Game notes. But it’s almost always been for work or school. Never just for fun. Except the books. Those were fun. Anyway, late in 2019 I vowed to give myself an outlet to share my thoughts on whatever struck me as relevant at a particular moment. Thus … my blog, a collection of my thoughts, observations and reflections on a variety of topics.

As I said, I’ve been writing for a long time. NFL game re-caps as a little kid. Sports editor of my high school newspaper. Journalism major at Michigan State and, later, at Wisconsin. Sports editor of the Marshall (Mich.) Chronicle, my first full-time job. And my career in college athletics. Writing has been a big part of my life.

I work in sports and you’ll find some of that here, but I’ll also write about plenty of other things that interest me. I hope you find some of it interesting, too.

Oh, by the way, the blog represents my own views and observations. It is not intended to represent the views of my employer.
