Jeff's Bio

I started pursuing writing dream 18 years ago covering high school and small college sports for a daily newspaper in Alabama. I moved to Atlanta in 1997 to work in corporate communications for seven years. That sports itch was always there, so I started freelancing to scratch it. After being downsized for the second time in three years in April, I decided to start my own freelance writing and editing business. Now I work at home full time(I can be difficult to deal with, but I'm not going to downsize myself!). I write for four sports sites, a flooring site and just about everything else under the sun. The bottom line is that I love to write and am lucky to be able to support my wife and two sons doing it.

  8. Hey Jeff,

    Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

    Thanks in advance!
