This is going to be a big challenge for me and one I am very much looking forward to. This is a very natural progression in my career and it is something I have always wanted to do. Cross one more thing off the bucket list.......

My condolences go out to the family of Barre-Montpelier (VT) Times Argus sportswriter Pete Hartt who died suddenly yesterday afternoon. Pete was a wonderful man who had a smile, a joke, and wisdom when it seemed to be needed the most. Pete, you were too young and you will be missed. Thanks for all of your help when I first broke in with ESPN Radio Vermont, and thanks for welcoming me into the fraternity of Vermont broadcasters and sportswriters.
