Background in sports media publishing operations and editorial workflow. Spent years running coverage decisions at under-resourced regional desks and left to build the tool those desks needed.
Regional sports coverage is where most athletes get their start and where most fans follow the teams they grew up with. We built PressBox to make sure those stories get told.
Local newspapers and digital outlets used to send a writer to every high school playoff, every minor league doubleheader, every regional tournament. Budget cuts changed that. Now editors have to pick which games get covered and which ones just don't.
Brian Hough spent years as a sports editor watching his coverage area shrink. Not because fewer games were being played, but because there were fewer journalists to send. He saw the same pattern across the region: outstanding games going unreported, athletes whose achievements never appeared in print.
PressBox was built to solve one problem: help regional outlets cover every game they track, not just the ones they have staff to attend. The drafts it generates aren't meant to replace journalists. They're the first two-thirds of a story that a reporter can finish in the time it used to take to write the whole thing from scratch.
