My Appearance on NBC 11 Alive "Sports Extra" on 5/3/15 - Mother's Day

Always good to be invited on to talk about Mother's Day gadgets on NBC 11 Alive here in Atlanta.

I joined anchor, David Wilkinson on "Sports Extra" to talk about the Yoga Design Labs yoga mat, the Wilson Burn 100S tennis racquet, compression socks and gear from 2XU and Soxxy. Also, the new Keurig 2.0 coffee machine in the Marsala color, the Acer 13 Chromebook and the Misfit Flash fitness band.

Here is a rough video, I hope to have a better version and screenshots.

On Dec 21, I joined David Wilkerson on NBC 11 Alive "Sports Extra" to talk about some sports items that would make great last-minute holiday gifts.

We talk about the BirdieBox, Lamkin golf grips, Jack Nicklaus golf balls, Vice Golf balls, the Wilson RF97 Roger Federer Autograph tennis racquet, the Polaroid Cube, tangle-resistant earbuds from House of Marley, Pure-Gear, and Zipbuds.  Also we talk about the Moov, a fitness band that has a voice component and is basically a personal trainer right on your wrist.

A Busy 2013 - Part 1

Before I focus on what is already going to be a busy 2014, I have to reflect on what a busy 2013 was.

Not only with events, travel, and writing over 800 pieces, but also meeting some great new friends, collegues, PR people and even co-authoring a top-selling book on Amazon.  Oh, I also won a couple awards- not sure how that happened.

2013

January:

The annual trip to the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando with Courtney Capps and Brian Katrek.

Exclusive interview with John O'Hurley - better known as J. Peterman from Seinfeld at the PGA Show.

Starting doing the "Tech Tuesday" gadget/tech segment on Sirisu/XM PGA Tour Radio.

February:

U.S. National Indoors in Memphis - ATP World Tour 500 event and WTA International Event

 

March/April:

College hoops with the Final Four in Atlanta and the SEC Women's Tournament at the Gwinnett Arena.

Special access from the NCAA - tons of interviews and features.  Most memorable: talking with Coach Bob Huggins as he participated in a pizza cooking contest.

My Atlanta Journal Constitiution women's running safety article was a rousing success and picked up by almost 60 newspapers around the country. 

Also the PGA Champion's Tour returned to the Atlanta area with the Greater Gwinneet Championship with Bernhard Langer taking the title.  This event will get bigger and better.

May/June

May was busy with product reviews, college tennis, and my first appearance on NBC 11 Alive's Sport Extra with my good friend Sam Crenshow talking about sports gadgets for Mother's Day.

Also the 2013 U.S. Open National Playoffs began in Atlanta.

And the NCAA Men's Golf Championships were played at Capital City Club - Crabapple Coure in Roswell.

I was back on 11 Alive's "Sports Extra" with Sam Crenshaw for Father's Day gift ideas for the sports-minded Dad.
