It took me 24 years, however, to know that I wanted to get out of Indiana. Buried under 17 inches of snow in my Marion, Ind., apartment in February 2007, I promised myself that would be my last winter in the Hoosier State. As soon as the snow thawed, I packed up my meager belongings and drove 1,200 miles south. I started writing for the Daily News in August 2007, and I still swear I have the best job in the world – I get paid to watch sports. When I’m not on assignment you can find me on the basketball courts of the Naples YMCA or the flag football fields of East Naples Middle School. Or I’ll be at home cheering on the Indiana Pacers, the Buffalo Bills or my Ball State University Cardinals. Sports isn’t my entire life, though, just most of it. I also enjoy traveling, including my annual birthday trip home to Indianapolis (the greatest city in America).en-ushttp://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/18/smesko-has-ideas-to-jazz-up-womens-game/College women's basketball: Changes needed to make game more excitingTue, 18 Jun 2013 23:18:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/18/smesko-has-ideas-to-jazz-up-womens-game/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/11/college-football-usf-taggart-invade-239-for-camp/College football: USF, Taggart invade 239 for recruiting campWed, 12 Jun 2013 01:23:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/11/college-football-usf-taggart-invade-239-for-camp/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/10/college-mens-basketball-fgcu-new-coach-joe-gets/ FGCU new coach Joe Dooley gets face-time with first campMon, 10 Jun 2013 23:58:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/10/college-mens-basketball-fgcu-new-coach-joe-gets/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/10/prep-girls-basketball-holiday-shootout-is-moving/Prep girls basketball: Holiday Shootout is moving to NeumannMon, 10 Jun 2013 21:30:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/10/prep-girls-basketball-holiday-shootout-is-moving/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/09/2013-ndn-girls-tennis-player-of-the-year-nikki/2013 NDN GIRLS TENNIS PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Nikki Kallenberg, NaplesSun, 09 Jun 2013 10:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/09/2013-ndn-girls-tennis-player-of-the-year-nikki/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/09/2013-ndn-boys-tennis-player-of-the-year-chris/2013 NDN BOYS TENNIS PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Chris Barrus, Gulf CoastSun, 09 Jun 2013 10:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/09/2013-ndn-boys-tennis-player-of-the-year-chris/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/09/2013-ndn-girls-lacrosse-player-of-the-year/2013 NDN GIRLS LACROSSE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Olivia Ferrucci, Barron CollierSun, 09 Jun 2013 10:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/09/2013-ndn-girls-lacrosse-player-of-the-year/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/07/prep-basketball-crowder-leaves-immokalee-for-lee/Prep basketball: Crowder leaves Immokalee for East LeeFri, 07 Jun 2013 22:59:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/07/prep-basketball-crowder-leaves-immokalee-for-lee/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/06/mlb-former-collier-standouts-look-to-get-drafted/MLB: Former Collier standouts hope to get draftedThu, 06 Jun 2013 08:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/06/mlb-former-collier-standouts-look-to-get-drafted/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/05/prep-baseball-barron-collier-coach-steps-down-as/Prep baseball: Barron Collier coach steps down as family growsWed, 05 Jun 2013 21:35:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/05/prep-baseball-barron-collier-coach-steps-down-as/
