In addition to my blog and articles on LinkedIn, I run several online publications and contribute to a number of others, as well as trade journals and magazines. I write and post just about every day… it’s kind of like my therapy.

I’ve written more than a thousand articles on Unlimited Hydroplane boat racing for various websites, including my own, HydroInsider.com. That experience led to me becoming part of the play-by-play crew doing color commentary for live streaming and over-the-air TV broadcasts to more than 2 million homes each year, which has twice won Best Television Broadcast from H1 Unlimited, and Best Online Sports Reporting from the Society of Professional Journalists. Online, we’ve streamed races from venues throughout the US and Qatar.
