If someone had told me back in the day I'd get to be a paid sportswriter for 25 minutes, I'd have jumped at it. To do it for 25 years was beyond my wildest dreams. It's been the great joy of my life. I am so incredibly fortunate.

I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the best writers, editors and management the state has produced over the past quarter-century, I've met so many great friends (and best of all, my wife) through my job and I will always treasure all of those relationships.

As you can see by these photos, I grew up in this job, in more ways than one. I've always joked that what I do "beats working for a living" and it's so true.

They, along with our longtime editor, Mo Mehlsak, gave me the support and freedom to cover local sports with a different, more in-depth approach, and the end result was a dream job and a product that was warmly received by the community.

While it's a time of sadness and uncertainty, I'm opting to focus on gratitude... Back in the fall of 1999, Marian McCue and Karen Rajotte (now Wood) took a chance on me and I'm forever in their debt.

A professional/life update...Please read to the end... My 25-year affiliation with The Forecaster has come to an end, as our ownership group shut down the print editions effective this week. My time with the company has come to an end as well.
