About Doug »

My name is Doug Rush. I am 25 years old from Beachwood, New Jersey.

I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey this past May with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a concentration in Journalism.

While at Ramapo, I was a weekly sports writer from September 2007 until May 2009 for the Ramapo News. I covered many things from Ramapo sports to MLB and NFL. My last story for them was a full review on the new Yankee Stadium.

I also have my Associates Degree in Print and Broadcast Journalism from Ocean County College, where I graduated in May 2007. As part of the Viking News, I was the Editor in Chief in 2004 and the Sports Editor in 2003 and then from 2005-2007 again.

I have won 5 state awards from the New Jersey Press Assocation, 3 in sports writing, including a 1st place in sports writing in 2005 and 2nd place in sports writing in 2006.

From 2004-2005, I worked at the Asbury Park Press in the Sports Department while attending college. Currently, I am working for The Berkeley Times as one of their staff writers.

I am a die-hard New York Yankees and New York Giants fan.
