Stories

Here you’ll find the stories that have shaped my life from every angle, airports and stadium tunnels, quiet beaches and loud bleachers, conversations in cafés and inside the halls where decisions get made. I’ve spent decades traveling the world, living inside the heartbeat of college football, and watching politics unfold from the sidelines and the front row. These stories meet where my life meets: at the intersection of adventure, sport, and the forces that shape our country.

Each story carries a piece of where I’ve been and what I’ve learned along the way.
