Media Time

Spending time with media professionals is always a little nerve wracking. I was a journalist for a short time, so I kind of already know how an interview is going to go. Now I’m on the other side though. There’s a little part in the back of my mind worrying about what to say and hoping I don’t forget something important.

I usually fall into a comfortable rhythm pretty quickly, but then it all happens so fast I’m left wondering if I did a good enough job explaining myself. The most recent media encounter was with Julia Park and Brian Hayes from the Tacoma New Tribune. Julia reached out asking for an interview since the Tribune did an article on me when I first started back in 2015. She felt a 10-year anniversary article would be cool to write. I’m always appreciative when someone wants to know the story.

We did the interview while I rowed them around part of the harbor. Brian brought a drone so he was getting some really nice shots from the air. I felt like we had a good time and I’m happy with how the article turned out. Julia is a good writer and Brian did an awesome job on the photos and video.
