(3/4) I got nominated for a Pulitzer Prize along the way. I'll take you on a journey that chronicles many of the biggest stories of my career, from the Olympics, earthquakes, a deadly riot in Pamplona Spain, a near-death experience covering a hurricane in Hawaii and much more.

(2/4) At 20 I moved from a grocery store delivery boy to a sportswriter for my hometown newspaper in Terry, Montana. After gaining experience at Montana newspapers in Miles City, Helena and Billings, I joined the AP in Cincinnati before moves to San Diego, LA, Denver and Vegas.

(1/4) I am in the final stages of completing my memoirs titled "The Power of the Patch". It spans my early years: my father died when I was 10 and my right eye was removed at 11.

I gave up. Lost all hope.
