They describe their novel Almost Always, available on Lulu and other localized platforms, as a personal achievement supported by long-time followers. Work-wise, they are most proud of an exclusive article coverage they contributed to with Chris Gronkowski, a former NFL player and CEO of Ice Shaker. The author joined Essentially Sports in June 2024 and within three months was asked to cover parts of the longer exclusive interview, which featured prominently in Google search for about a week and was well received by Gronkowski.</description></oembed>
