Mark Walkusky's Sportswriter Profile

Generating profile stats...

Military brat raised by a Philly sports fan. Father eventually retired in San Diego, where my brothers and I have suffered the agony of being southern California sports fans. When asked, my bias falls toward Philadelphia teams

Favorite teams are the Eagles, Chargers, Flyers, Phillies, Dodgers, San Diego State and Penn State.

I don't have a singular favorite athlete, but I appreciate those I enjoyed watching over the years that showed passion and dedication to be the best in their craft.

I have a Masters in International Relations and have two beautiful children. I now live in the west Pacific, so it's near impossible to watch games live, but try my best to stay up to date on sports stories.
