I'm thrilled to announce that I’ve accepted a full-time job in Tennessee as a high school sports reporter for the @JSunNews

I’m grateful for @SJI_Update @robertzizzo @journalsentinel this summer & thank you @philkaplan for allowing me to continue growing in the @Gannett family!

If you're a fan of @Vol_Football and if you're rooting for Joey Aguilar this is a must read from Adam Sparks.

Six years before Joey Aguilar was the Vols quarterback, he stood alone in the dark at a train station in California.

"That was my lowest point" Aguilar said.

He didn't know it at the time, but that started his long journey to Tennessee.

Excited to be back in the classroom as guest lecturer for @UTJEM after a year away. I will be teaching Sports Media Principles and Practice. So much has changed since the last time I taught this class. Even the course name is different.

Today's the day I'll make you mine
So get me to the church on time
Take my hand in this empty room
You're my girl, and I'm your groom
