I covered high schools, the Everblades' first season, the Miami Dolphins, the start of Florida Gulf Coast University athletics, and professional golf tournaments in both Naples and elsewhere in the state. I was promoted to assistant sports editor in October 1999, and remained mainly a writer, covering high schools, FGCU, the Dolphins and professional golf tournaments. I was promoted to sports editor in August 2004, and still cover local golf. During my time at the Daily News, I've been fortunate enough to cover three Super Bowls (in Houston, New Orleans and Atlanta) and three Masters. Before coming to Naples, I worked at The Southern Illinoisan, a daily newspaper in Carbondale, Ill., from 1987-1997. That's also where I went to college. en-ushttp://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394095/Skyler Taylor, Palmetto Ridge Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 01:05:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394095/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394094/Revenel Metayer, Golden Gate Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 01:04:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394094/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394093/Matt Colligan, Gulf Coast Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 01:03:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394093/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394092/Kendall Smallwood, Everglades City Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 01:02:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394092/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394091/Justine Giles, Lely Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 01:01:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394091/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394090/Joseph Flores, Immokalee Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 01:00:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394090/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394088/Dan DiGiorno, Naples High Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 00:59:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394088/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394089/Hana Sladick, Seacrest Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 00:59:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394089/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394087/Brian Ullrich, St. John Neumann Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 00:58:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394087/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394085/Alex Fogg, Community School Winged Foot finalistThu, 03 May 2012 00:57:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2012/may/02/394085/
