I started writing articles on my blog in August 2010 as a hobby. I wanted to share sports medicine in easy-to-understand language for athletes, parents, coaches and other healthcare providers.

I never expected to discover a passion for communicating this information. Despite long hours in clinic and surgery, I came home excited to open my laptop and write. That passion has created opportunities I never expected. I now write a regular column for The Post and Courier newspaper in Charleston, produce a weekly sports medicine podcast and write for many publications and websites.

This page contains lists and links to the articles I have contributed. You will find that I write articles on a wide variety of topics depending on the publication or website. I would be honored for you to look through them and read ones that interest you. If you feel that I could contribute content that might appeal to your readers, please contact me!

The Post and Courier 

post and courier

Getting the opportunity to write a regular column in Charleston’s newspaper was arguably the biggest accomplishment of my writing career so far. One, it is a tremendous newspaper with many terrific and accomplished reporters and columnists. Two, many more people read it than I ever expected in this digital age. I don’t go a single day without someone here telling me they read my column.

As you will see, most of the sports medicine topics pertain to football and very famous athletes. I aim to write a syndicated sports medicine newspaper column or a column for a large publication. If and when that happens, I will broaden the scope of topics for a broader audience.

Answers.com 

I was honored to be selected as the Category Expert Writer for Orthopedics by Answers.com. Like I try to do in my injury posts and my Sports Injury Locator, I wrote short explanations of a variety of orthopedic injuries and surgeries in easy-to-understand language for Answers.com. Many of these articles address musculoskeletal topics outside of sports medicine.

Bleacher Report

I served as a Featured Columnist for Bleacher Report, one of the most read sports websites, with over 13 million monthly readers. I wrote articles about the injuries of professional and college athletes and sports medicine topics in professional and college sports.

Outpatient Surgery Magazine

As a member of the editorial board for Outpatient Surgery Magazine, most of my contributions began as either giving my opinions on ideas for articles or offering quotes for articles. Over time, the editors have given me the opportunity to write featured articles on trends in sports medicine surgeries, new equipment, products and technology in sports medicine, and more.

I have helped with a tremendous number of articles for the various Becker’s publications by talking to their writers and sharing my thoughts and quotes. I was thrilled when the Editor-in-chief, Laura Miller, allowed me to write articles for them.
