The last trip the Providence Bruins made to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania was a long one. It was an overnight ride from Portland, Maine to the Keystone State in the midst of a seven-game road stretch. I mentioned my not-so-Rainmanesque victory at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in my last blog post, but intentionally left one story […]
Winning AFTER a Trip to Mohegan
Every time I go to a Mohegan Sun Casino, something significant happens in my career. My first trip to a casino outside Las Vegas (which I only went to for the MLB Winter Meetings & Job Fair) was to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. It was August of 2010, and I was on a road trip […]
The Weirdest Good Day Ever
Wednesday was the most oddly memorable day I’ve had in a while. I was happy, a bit disheartened, relaxed, nervous, reminiscent and optimistic. Plus, there were cups set on fire. Although it may look like I caught Andre the Giant‘s chicken pox or decided to re-create the bubonic plague, my back actually feels better. I […]
A Not-So Manly Confession
On Monday morning, I had a Mary Kay consultation. It feels better to get that out in the open. It wasn’t exactly something I had planned, but I’m not complaining that I was temporarily pampered and permanently interested by the business model of one of the world’s largest cosmetics companies. Brianna and I went on […]
My Meeting at HubSpot’s Locker…
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a love letter to HubSpot, a marketing software company based in Cambridge. I’ve been admiring their marketing advice and company personality for a few years now. In typical 12-year old fashion, I asked people to “pass” my note to HubSpot to let them know how I felt. Luckily, […]
Winter Meetings Experiences
Every year in the first full week of December, Major League (and Minor League) Baseball holds its Winter Meetings. They’re usually in a warmer climate, though that’s not always the case. They are always interesting though, no matter what your goal is as an attendant. If you’re the paparazzi or just a star-gazer, you’ll get […]
On Missing Doc
If there was one BU event I would do anything in my power to be at, it was the contest between Comm. Ave rivals that featured Jerry York’s first chance at tying the all-time wins mark tonight. Although that milestone would have been pretty impressive, it didn’t have anything to do with why I wanted […]
It Feels So Weird to be Dry.
Yes, that’s a direct quote of Seth MacFarlane impersonating Ryan Lochte on Saturday Night Live a few weeks back. Luckily my family can say that after this weekend. This post isn’t meant to be a sob story for me to win over your sympathy because of my past issues. I’d prefer you give it to […]
One of the Most Important Lessons I Learned Came from One of my Interns
Interns are the lifeblood of many organizations, especially minor league sports teams, startups and small businesses. I had a bunch of internships before, during and after school, and loved all but one of them. The attitude and effort of the people I worked with were just as important to my development as my own quality […]
