About the Author

My name is Rowan Walch, I’m from Henderson, Nevada. I’ve been a lot of places in the world, and have seen beautiful nature, but I’ve never lived anywhere other than Henderson. I graduated from Bishop Gorman, and I’m going to college for media studies.

From the time I was born, sports have been front and center in my life. I was an athlete, a knockoff statistician, and an armchair pundit from the beginning. Growing up Ive always thought sports would be the area I can monetize. But in general, Ive realized I’ll do anything in media, as long as I believe it’s worth talking about. My original dream was to be a beat reporter for a local sports team, but with a degree I could do PR, social media management, and day to day reporting. Right now I don’t have a clear path forward, but my degree is certainly tailored to the style of careers I want. Sports media has been my whole life, it can be even more.

my friend has a dad that runs a professional athlete consultancy and growth company. They help athletes make good decisions with money, investments, and relationships. They also have a division tailored to actually helping athletes get better at their craft, but I’m more interested in the player image side. I know what I’m talking about; I’ve watched sports/media unfold for my entire life. Really though, I’m also interested deeply in social justice, and I’d take any position to help spread awareness about injustice.
