Sean's Bio

I am a huge hockey fan, during the season Hockey Night In Canada sustains me. But, I love my Red Wings more than anything else. In my opinion they are the best franchise in all of sports, not only do they play a fabulous game but they can call up any prospect to fill a void and continue as though nothing happened. They are a modern day dynasty. Baseball and football are tied for me, I love my Tigers and I attend about 12 games a season, but I can't get enough of the Bears either. I, like many Detroiters, still have hope the Lions will turn it around, but we all know that won't happen.

I am a student at Michigan State University, and I am pursuing a career in Journalism/Public Relations. I have been published in my local newspaper, The Macomb Daily, as a writer for my high school's homecoming game last season. If anyone has connections in the journalism world I would love to get in the door as soon as possible. My writing on B/R is really helping to hone the art of writing sports articles. I am starting to look into a career in Public Relations to a sports team or player or in a political setting.
