I'm living in Seattle doing photography for a few volleyball clubs as the company, The Northwest Sports Photographers. I'm living in a house with 3 people who graduated form college with me and one that went to BU and studied abroad with another of my housemates. I ended up going out to Walla Walla once a week for a few days during the fall and keeper coaching, and I'm going to be moving back to Walla Walla to continue with that, on a volunteer basis. The nice thing is Whitman will cover all of my coaching license costs, and those are expensive.
One day while I was out there the athletic director, Dean Snider, came down to the AV room that I was in watching film with Mike Washington and in a really excited manner told me that he had "something for me", knowing that I was looking for any kind of work. Fast forward a few months and I'm well into developing the website for the Walla Walla Sweets, a new, amateur, wood-bat summer league baseball team that plays at the historic stadium that Whitman's baseball team plays at. Their ownership group is some Whitman alums and a few others, all of which have done well for themselves and are looking to invest in something they love but also give back to Whitman and Walla Walla. They're doing this by renovating Borleske Stadium, which was...pathetic. It was embarrassing to keep something like that named after someone of such historic and athletic importance in Walla Walla. Anyway, I'm also going to try and do some work with Whitman in the same capacity, with their athletics website. But that is for the future and hasn't happened yet. I'm going to talk with Dean the next time I'm back in town. Also, I'm moving back to Walla Walla, probably in May, to be there for the baseball season and over the summer for summer soccer camps.
That is what has been happening, and I'll try to keep this updated more often...
