Your intelligent and insightful reporting has helped us, your readers and fans, navigate some tricky waters during your time with us. You've brought clarity and insight to us from the trust and integrity you've established with the Rams organization.
I for one, as a writer, doubly appreciate what you bring. It isn't easy, and you have to dig in with both a talent and a passion to do it as well as you do. And I'd add to that: the character of the writer shines through the writer's work. It's the driver, regardless of talent, that separates great writers from wordsmiths and hacks.
You have all those coveted and rare characteristics that it take to truly shine, to be remembered as one of the greats when your career is at its zenith and you're looking back on it.
I feel privileged to have read you at its beginning, and wish you all the best. Wherever you go I'll be looking for your byline.
