About travis »

I am 23 years old and a recent graduate of the University of Nevada Las Vegas where is studied print and broadcast journalism. Since i was 16 years old i have had a great interest in sports journalism and would love nothing more than to have a long career in the field.

Just glad to be of assistance, and I'll have to take your suggestion under advisement (though he had Mark Holton (Chubby) to carry a lot of the load...)

Have a great day!
