June 18, 2014…

It was exactly two-years ago today, that I posted my first article for TalkSportsPhilly. Since then, I’ve posted roughly 100+ more. With each one, I’ve become more comfortable with my writing, and my ability to put my opinion into an article. When I first started writing for TSP, I was a nervous 16-year old with aspirations of becoming the next big thing on ESPN. As I stand here today, my hopes are to just be the best writer that I can be, and let the rest fall into place.

It is with large smile that I sit here today, and can say that I am leaving TalkSportsPhilly. I have taken this decision under consideration for quite some time, and have decided that it is in my best interest to explore other options, at this time. TSP and I are not parting on poor terms, quite the opposite actually. Leo and the rest of the TSP staff have graciously accepted me, and made me one of their own since my first day here. They have done nothing but push me to become a better writer, and put out the best product that I can for all of you to read. For that, I will always be grateful. Leo was the first man to give me a chance as a writer, and I will never forget that.

Many times, articles like this end in goodbye. But, I can tell you that this is not goodbye. It’s more along the lines of, see you later!
