Some personal news, this week will be my final one in Rolla.
I'm sad that my time in what has been home for seven years of my life is coming to a close, but I'm grateful for every moment of it and excited for what is to come.
Here's to the Miners and The Culture™.
Cheers.
Incredible gesture by
@Moretts13
. Presented me with a framed page 1 of my notes from my first win as a basketball SID. Being able to work with him this year has been a tremendous time and I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity to continue to learn each day.

This is my seventh year in athletics at S&T. I can say without a shred of a doubt, the amount of student support this afternoon for
@Miners_MBB
and
@Miners_WBB
was the biggest crowd I've seen in that gym at once.
There was an environment today. Everyone in the building felt it.
I am THRILLED to be back home with

Am I the only one who works in college athletics who really doesn't care about March Madness anymore because it's right after crossover season and I've already watched enough basketball covering my own teams during the year? Or is that just me?

The sports information industry lost a great one today in Scott Cummings. Though I didn't know him well, whenever we made the trip to McKendree for baseball, we always would chat and catch up for a bit.
Thoughts and prayers to his family and the Bearcat family in Lebanon.
Over the weekend, I got to hit the road with

📺:
Not gonna find student-athletes at too many places who will present on their senior design project hours before competing on the national stage and finishing top 10 while breaking their own school record (again).
S&T student-athletes are built different.
Soon after finishing a class presentation, Missouri S&T student Nathan Swadley swapped the tie for track and field gear to set a school record in the shot put.

I don't know how many hundreds of pounds of snow and ice got moved over the course of yesterday and today, but the boys got it done, then got a dub to kick things off right.
Excited for what the rest of the season has in store

Figured I'd share some of my favorite pieces from the last year this week. Been slowly updating my portfolio this summer, check it at the link in bio.
#MinerPride
✔30-win season
✔Regular season conference co-champs
✔>60% of roster made academic all-conference with probably the toughest major curriculum in the conference.
So proud of this team and this program for everything that gets accomplished on both sides of the field!
Worst part about designing no one tells you about is getting into your own head and convincing yourself that what you've come up with isn't any good and that no one will like it and that they will tell you that to your face 🫠
Feels odd not being there to watch
@SandTBaseball
for the first time in six years, but bet I'll have live stats and video pulled up all season long. Good luck fellas.
