It was February 1, 2014. Our goalies were Ryan Miller and Jhonas Enroth. Our captain was Steve Ott. It was the Parents’ Trip to Arizona and Colorado, and I went along with the team. And we were playing in Denver at the Pepsi Center. It did not go well. As soon as the game ended, I sent this tweet: Not a lie. Bold, different, yes. The intention: That was so bad, we’re not even going to mention the score. This was breaking the norms for live social media sports coverage at the time.

What was your first job as a journalist?

I started off in sports, working for local newspapers in Western New York. My first real job was at the Rochester, N.Y. Democrat & Chronicle.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

To serve the public, hold public leaders accountable, provide timely information, tell compelling stories, and inform/entertain.

What's your favorite social network?

Twitter is my favorite because it's so tightly-connected to the news these days, but it's close. I love Facebook too.
