October 26, 2010

Prior to entering the financial arena 10 years ago, I interned and worked in the sports department for the local abc affiliate in Orlando, Florida for four and a half years.  This is just one story from my days in TV. The Chicago Bulls were in town (Orlando/1997) and going through the pregame warm-ups prior […]
