I'm an amateur journalist, and sometimes I contribute articles to
newspapers here and there. I cover world news and sports, mostly.
Here is a selection of some news articles I've written in the
past.

November 5, 2002 SOUTH BEND, In. -- Notre Dame head coach Tyrone Willingham arrived in his office Monday morning at 9 o'clock sharp, as always. Two days earlier, Willingham's football squad lost its first game of the season to Boston College, 14-7, in a very sloppy game in which Notre Dame committed five turnovers. He had every reason to be in a bad mood. But today, Willingham approaches his secretary with a radiant, beaming smile. "Hello, Mrs. Fletcher," he says to her, "Great day to be alive, isn't it?"
