Thanks everyone... I really appreciate the kind words. They mean a lot to me.

I always joke that I grew up pushing my Tonka toys down the hallways of the M.A.C. Center, but that's true. My dad used to take me to Kent State football and basketball games in the 70s and 80s. I started covering Kent State in the 1990s for the Record-Courier, took over the KSU beat in 2002, and then left the newspaper business to join Kent State as director of new media in 2012.

Because of my love for the school and its athletic department, I took the job intending to spend the rest of my career at Kent State. I didn't know at the time, however, that I would fall in love with public relations and that my passion for storytelling would take on some new forms as I added skills like graphic design and video editing. I'm looking forward to using those skills to take a chance on doing something else.

Most of my career has been spent at Kent State. It's been a fantastic quarter century! I made some great friendships, built some cherished memories, and now I look forward to taking my own family to games and cheering on the Golden Flashes from the stands the way I used to do with my father.

Best wishes! And Go Flashes!
