I'd rather be known as a friend on the sidelines than simply a member of the media.</p> <p>Prior to my arrival in Lee County, I was editor of a weekly newspaper in Enfield, Conn. for seven years. I also spent 11 seasons watching future NHL, AHL and ECHL players as public relations director for a team in the Eastern Junior Hockey League.</p> <p>As a fan, I cheer for my alma mater -- Arizona State University -- and long shots at Saratoga.</p> </story>en-ushttp://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458796/Estero coach Frank Turco talks to his players prior to their 3-2 win against American Heritage in a Tue, 21 May 2013 17:25:27 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458796/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458795/Estero coach Frank Turco waves in Wesley Pruitt (2) during the Wildcats' three-run fourth inning inTue, 21 May 2013 17:25:25 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458795/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458793/Estero baseball coach Frank Turco smiles as he chats with spectators prior to a Class 5A regional fiTue, 21 May 2013 17:25:20 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458793/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458792/Frank Turco, shown here chatting with umpires before a game in May 2012, is in his 13th season as EsTue, 21 May 2013 17:25:17 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/21/458792/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/13/457003/The Class 3A state champion girls 4x800 relay team from Estero High School joins their coach for a pMon, 13 May 2013 23:55:26 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/13/457003/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456722/American Heritage first baseman David Villar catches a foul ball near a fence in a Class 5A regionalSun, 12 May 2013 02:55:51 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456722/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456720/Estero pitching coach Troy Beall and catcher Jason Moore visit pitcher Zeke Pietrzyk in the bottom oSun, 12 May 2013 02:55:48 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456720/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456719/American Heritage first baseman David Villar catches a foul ball near a fence in a Class 5A regionalSun, 12 May 2013 02:55:46 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456719/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456642/Nicknamed "Dirty 30" by his teammates, Estero catcher Jason Moore didn't mind get getting dirty in ESun, 12 May 2013 02:53:04 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456642/http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456640/Nicknamed "Dirty 30" by his teammates, Estero catcher Jason Moore didn't mind get getting dirty in ESun, 12 May 2013 02:53:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/photos/2013/may/11/456640/
