Why I Decided to Join On3
Let me start by saying, leaving 247sports was an incredibly hard decision and something I didn’t look forward to. I have nothing but good things to say about my last 15 years there.
With that being said, I’m excited about the next chapter of my career with On3.
I started with 247sports soon after its launch in 2010. I’ve witnessed Shannon Terry build that from the ground up. To play a small part in that was a great ride.
In a lot of ways, this is a dream offer for me and something I couldn’t pass up. On3 has stacked together quite the roster, including many I looked up to in my career. I think there are certain people you want on your side in this business and a lot of them are right here at On3, including Mr. Terry, who has a unique vision and ability to adapt to the ever-changing climate of sports media. When he calls, you listen.
To be able to join forces with Steve Wiltfong again was high on my wish list. Steve was right there with me for so many years and showed me the ropes.
Then you see names like Pete Nakos, Hayes Fawcett, Joe Tipton, etc., who are the best at what they do. I’ve admired many of the team site guys as well, including Sean Fitz, Rusty Mansell, Alex Gleitman, Tim Watts, Justin Hopkins, and others I’ve crossed paths with. There are so many others who I don’t know personally, but their reputations speak for themselves.
We’re in a new era of college athletics and I need to change with it. My goal is to develop and grow this site that not only caters to the die-hard Badger fan, but also appeals and is a one-stop shop for the casual fan as well.
I hope many of you will continue to come on this ride with me. Let’s get to work.
