And to those who don’t know yet, I’m now with NESN but will miss the hell out of everything about MassLive. I loved going to work everyday coving WMass sports. I’ll be deactivating this account eventually but you can continue to follow my pro sports coverage at @Al5Francisco

Crazy past few weeks for me, but no one I’d rather have as my successor than this guy. Boys Hoop beat is in great hands, he cares so much and I can’t wait to see what he does with the opportunity...
There’s no way I could’ve left the Western Mass. high school sports scene. Too many great athletes, coaches and teams to cover. I interned at @MassLiveHS for almost two years during college and I’m really excited to be back. Let’s have some fun.

Today is my last day with MassLive after more than two years. I was bartending with a bachelor’s degree, applied to be a freelancer and @MeredithPerri took a chance on me and offered me a job. That phone call changed my life and I’m forever indebted to her and @JPignatiello.
