About Marco »

I'm a freshman at Columbia College Chicago majoring in Journalism concentration in Sports Writing and a minor in Radio/Television Sportscasting. I found a love in sports because of my medical disabilities I knew I couldn't play them, so I decided to cover them. I'm a public speaker for Make-A-Wish Foundation after they allowed me to live my dream on August 8, 2008 of being a sports reporter/guest commentator at a Chicago Cubs game with Dick Stockton and Erik Karros. I hope to one day be a play-by-play commentator for either the NFL, MLB, or NHL, and also it would be my dream to be either a baseball or football hall of fame voter.
