Man, I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I started writing on www.thestatmanspeaks.com. My first article on July 17, 2011, was about high school football. See, I was a high school football statistician for games on the radio (1997 to 2015) and for games on the television (2009 to 2015). I really fell in love with writing when I was in high school (1991 to 1995) as one of my electives was Creative Writing, taught by an awesome teacher named Beverly Hoag. I have tried to reach her on email, but no reply as of yet.
I had no game plan when I started. I just wanted to write about the games I worked, include some stats, and a few pictures. My writing definitely improved throughout the years, I was also gaining more readers and followers on Twitter, and I found myself enjoying writing a lot more than being a statistician. So, I retired as high school football statistician and became a freelance sports writer and photographer in 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Even though I don’t provide a lot of new articles anymore on www.thestatmanspeaks.com, I still do continue to write, but it’s on www.thedadspeaks.com. I am a husband and a dad and that is where my priorities lie these days.
Thedadspeaks.com was started on October 31, 2015 as that was the day we told the world we are having a baby. Not me, but my wife. Now, 6 years later…
