My name is Garrett Tiehes. I am a Sports Radio & Television Broadcast Major at the University of Missouri, Columbia. I also am pursuing my business minor. I am from St. Louis, Missouri. Where I went to high school at Lutheran High School South. In high school I only played baseball, but during my entire sports career I participated in baseball, soccer, football, basketball and volleyball. At the University of Missouri I work at the NBC-affiliated station KOMU, which airs out to all of mid-Missouri. At KOMU I work as a sports anchor, reporter and producer. Following all Mizzou athletics, local sports, St. Louis Blues and Cardinals as well as the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. Along with working in broadcast sports journalism I also work with sports social media content. I do this for the University of Missouri’s athletic media department Mizzou Network. At Mizzou Network I produce social media content for either Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. I also work on making content for the stadium screens for during games. The content I produce is either hype videos, informational videos, post game interviews, scenic videos for in game productions and entertainment player profiles to connect fans with players. I am just now starting a job with Newsy, working with more news based social media content. My true passion falls within sports, ever since I was a young boy all I’ve ever wanted to do was anything in sports. Obviously I wish I was playing a professional sport, but now I want to be somehow involved in the sports world either in front or behind the camera. Being from a big sports town and family, seeing 2 World Series’ and now a Stanley Cup, I have a lot of opinions involving not just St. Louis sports but sports in general, and this blog will be the base of where all those national opinions will be View more posts
