My name is Daniel Lavender, and right now I'm a college student attending the University of Wisconsin Parkside. I'm an English major, and setting myself towards also getting some type of fancy certificate for Sports Management.
Right now, I am a sports reporter for The Ranger News. Ranger News is my University's student paper, and I hopped on board just as we changed to an online news publication.
So far, I've covered the Woman's Soccer team, and am covering both Basketball teams with my co-reporter as their season goes on. I've also been doing some journalism following the creation of Parkside's first ever football team, as well as doing some Player Profiles.
As for me, I grew up with all types of sports around me. It started with open wheel racing, because my father, who is from England, got me instantly addicted to Formula One, and the ever mighty Indy Cars of the day. As a awesome plus, my father works for Briggs and Stratton, so I found myself attending many awesome events in Wisconsin, many on behalf of the Briggs folks.
I'm a regular at Road America, in Elkhart Lake, the Milwaukee Mile, and have been to the the United States GP(every year until the ruined it) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and, my all time favorite, the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
So far, SBN has really helped me that much more in being the sports writer that I want to be. Frank, of PensBurgh, has really helped me in many aspects of that, as well as KLSnow, of BrewCrewBall, for letting me mock Anthony Witrado as much as I do. As much as I goof around, I get to the point, and want to give my opinions as much as I can. I'm really into this sports reporting gig right now, so I hope it becomes a career. It's never felt like I've worked a day so far, I love it.
Hope to catch you around SBN, cheers.
