I am a sports journalist in every sense of the word. I do play-by-play for Southern Illinois University, do morning sports on a cluster of radio stations in southern Illinois, and host a podcast Studs Up Sounders. I love all sports, but spending seven years abroad growing up made me fall in love with soccer. I follow and cover it with a passion.
