About

I'm a pretty easy going guy who loves sports, and writing about it is my passion. As a junior at Albion College, I have been the play-by-play broadcaster for their men's and women's basketball teams along the color commentator for their football, baseball, and softball teams for the past three years.

I also write for the website Sports at Work, an affiliate of FOX Sports/MSN/YardBarker, holding the positions of Lead Editor for College Basketball and Big Ten Columnist. I have also written over 70 articles for the Albion College sports website and have had multiple articles featured on the NCAA's website.

Additionally, I completed an at K-105.3/WKHM ESPN Radio 1450 in Jackson, Michigan during the summer of 2011 and will be interning at the Spartan Sports Network in East Lansing, Michigan in the summer of 2012.

Always looking forward to bringing forward to building my following, and bringing the stories to all fans. Thanks for taking an interest! --Zach Dirlam

    I really like your "MSU takes precedent" article on the Michigan page. Not only are you the only writer to have the guts to actually write that, haha, but I agree with you. Good job and I hope to read more of your articles in the future.
