Introducing Jared March

Jared MarchWith the conclusion of my last final (Property Law is certainly a bitch), I am now officially basking in the beauty known as Summer Break! While it may be a break from Law School, it is definitely not a break from work on my business ventures, which include Dynasty and SportsAgentBlog.com – I Want to be a Sports Agent.

First item of business for the blog is introducing a brand new contributor. Jared March, author of a recent piece titled, NHL Enjoys Record Season…In America, decided that he liked writing the piece so much that he is going to give it a shot as a regular contributor at SportsAgentBlog.com. We welcome him with open arms, as he will be presenting readers with a fresh view on a topic that we rarely cover: hockey.

Unfortunately, we also lost a great contributor recently, but I have been so swamped that I was unable to announce it until now. Andrew Bouthiller had been with SportsAgentBlog.com since April of 2007 and took over writing Nightmare Clients of the Week until we abolished the column. Andrew has decided to focus his pursuits on financial management and estate planning and no longer thinks that he is interested in being an agent. We wish him the best and know that he will be successful in all of his endeavors.

Welcome Jared and say so long to Andrew. And while you are at it, subscribe to our stories by RSS or Email…we are almost up to 200 regular RSS readers and have over 40 email subscribers.
