Wow, I just really appreciate all the love from everyone today. This was a tough decision and I’ll miss being on the call more then you all know! Thanks for all the support!

I have decided to pursue a social media manager opportunity in Portland and will no longer be employed by Linfield Athletics. I can’t thank the Linfield Administration both past and present enough for believing in me and allowing me to grow as a professional in sports media. Thank you to all of the alumni, student-athletes, coaches and the Linfield community for all of the great memories and your support these past 7 years. I’ll always be rooting for the ‘Cats but now it will be away from the press box. Thank you, Roll ‘Cats!
