Casey 's Bio

I'm 22 years old. I spent a good portion of my time between graduation and now avoiding the progression of my life.

I've had an interest in sports media for quite some time, primarily aimed toward radio. However, a co-worker of mine pointed me in the direction of written journalism in 2006.

My influences are David Locke, Adam Carolla, John Clayton, and Michael Lewis.

I started with a Myspace dedicated to my blogs, which failed to garner any buzz. I was able to parlay the written work, however unread, into job writing for fantasyfootballjungle.com, and later walterfootball.com. I have a website www.5qsports.com, that I'll probably whore out regularly on here.

I'm a Green River Community College freshman, and Editor in Chief on our paper The Current. I have a sports column in every issue also. I'm also a member of the radio broadcasting program at GRCC, working for KGRG-FM 89.9.

I work a full time job, along with the aforementioned obligations, so as one can imagine my time is spread pretty thin. I hope to put as much exclusive material up here as I can, but a lot of it will be from other outlets that I'm involved with.

Hey Casey,

I'd love a Mariners fan's perspective on my new article:

Seahawks are a mess, why two injury riddled seasons should lead to firing Tim Ruskell, etc.

Hi Casey,

I've finally published my findings from the survey I conducted of FCs around the league on the state of the Indians.

Take a look...

Thanks again for participating in the survey!

Casey, thanks for the POTD. BTW, I like the "Casey at the Bat" tag you use. Do you only use it for baseball articles or for all your work now? I started using "Come to Think of it" just to distinguish myself but it makes my headlines more challenging because it limits the number of characters I can use in the headline text.

No problem on the edit Casey. Now you've got me intrigued about your next article!

Casey,

All you need is a BA in any subject. They really look at your letters of recommendation and essay you write. At least that is how Seattle U does it.

Hope that helps!

No problem on the edit Casey. Yeah, the baby has been taking up a lot of my time, but it's good to be back on B/R. All is well, thanks for asking.

And hey, how about those Mariners? They're pretty inconsistent, but they're actually competitive, which is more than I expected.
