Summary

In 2016 I created a website (www.dutchlionsports.com) where I could publish my writing. I have mainly written about sports while sometimes expanding to publish stories about music, books, and even some poetry.

I want to continue writing about sports for professional teams, organizations, and/or companies that are interested in publishing sports articles. I write comprehensive stories using my background knowledge and research abilities.
