“Marc gave me my first shot at becoming a professional journalist … I could tell immediately we would make a great team because Marc has an important vision for what local sports journalism should be. It was less about the final score and more about the people — telling a story that was important to our audience. With his leadership we put together features and series that are to this day some of my favorite clips as a journalist.
Marc is multi-talented, and he taught me so much about what it takes to be a professional in this business. … You need to be able to handle so many different tasks each day, including writing, editing, photography, online publishing, page layout and design, video and much more. I was inexperienced in almost all of those areas, but Marc taught me from square one how to get the job done. … I hope I’m able to convey some of his creative vision in my own work that he showed each day.”
“During the time Marc worked as the Sports Editor for the Faribault Daily News the amount of coverage for all sports in our area increased as well as benefiting from the quality his writing. Marc found ways to highlight the personal side of each story so that his reporting was more than just reporting the score. Young, energetic and personable Marc’s relationships with players and coaches always made them feel important and at ease during interviews.”
