I was always drawn to local sports at a young age. As a kid in the early and mid 90’s one of my favorite things to do was attend Gloucester High School sporting events — especially GHS hockey during its heyday — with my grandfather, former Gloucester Times sports reporter, the late John “Doc” Enos.

I was instantly hooked, and eventually decided to make a career of it.
