Spokane was a basketball town long before Hoopfest and the Zags put it on the map

Spokane was a basketball town long before Hoopfest and the Zags put it on the map

Inlander — Cover story for the June 22, 2023 issue of the Inlander. Spokane is a rich basketball town with events like Hoopfest (the weekend this was on stands) and Gonzaga basketball, but this story told some of the more overlooked or forgotten stories in the history of basketball in Spokane.

Essay: Just One More

Essay: Just One More

Inlander — After being robbed of a normal summer in 2020, the 2021 Summer Guide issue of the Inlander featured personal essays from each writer on what they were most looking forward to rediscovering or being able to do again as the pandemic faded away and the state began to reopen. For me, it was everything that I didn't have planned.

The Year of the Power Conferences

The Year of the Power Conferences

Medium — An example of the more niche deep-dives I do into college basketball on my Medium site. This one looks at how the NCAA distributes revenue from the NCAA Tournament, and how no matter how many Cinderella stories a given March Madness may see, it's always the big boys, even when Goliath falls to David, that cash in the most.
