My name is Mark Travis and I am journalism student at the University of Oregon. I started writing back in 2008, when Michael Crabtree and the Texas Tech Red Raiders inspired him to start his own website. My first site, But The Game Is On, got me my first media credential in the summer of 2008 when I covered the Corpus Christi Hooks, the Houston Astros Double-A affiliate. I then gained media access to Team USA Basketball, NIKE and the NBA in the summer of 2009 and interviewed the likes of Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant and many other NBA stars.
