Who
am I?

If you haven’t figured out yet, my name is John Whitman Clark. I am an aspiring sports journalist and currently a junior at The University of Alabama, majoring in news media. It has been a dream of mine to work in sports ever since i realized I coudln’t play them for a living. More specifically however, I wanted to talk about sports. Luckily enough I also enjoy writing almost as much as I do talking, so I figured it would be a great place to start. I recently just completed my first ever job in sports media, working as the Communications Manager for the Falmouth Commodores in the Cape Cod Baseball League, America’s most prestigious collegiate summer league. I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my career, and I cant’t wait to see what the future holds. Please enjoy my now current roomate attempting his first cigar after a Tennesee stompin’ in 2023.

Thanks for stopping by and Roll Tide!
