    I have been in baseball my entire life. It is my true passion and what I do best. I played for the University of Rhode Island and Marshall University while obtaining my degree. This field is where I belong, its what I do best. A job in sports, let alone baseball, would be a dream come true. I am as hard a worker as you will find, especially when I love the work I am involved with. I am experienced with publicity and fully believe I can benefit the team. I have experince in the job opening as well. I have worked in the past to sell products to the community, both on campus and off. I have helped a friends business, QuadODeuce Productions, land multiple deals as well as support from the community. I started a social law fraternity and made it the largest on campus within two years; all while raising almost $200,000 for its international headquarters through my collegiate career. I feel I am a fit for this position. I know the game better than anything else in this world, thus, I could perform this job better than anyone else.

Unfortunately for you, I am not at all affiliated with the Kansas City Royals nor do I have any say in the hiring of this position whatsoever. I merely post job and internship openings on the blog as a resource for those hoping to get into the field of sports PR or get a promotion in this field.
