My name is Brandon Hurley. I’ve been a professional journalist for more than 10 years.

I’m currently the sports editor for the Jefferson Herald, I’m also the assistant sports editor for the Carroll Times Herald. Both papers are located in Iowa.

I’m the definition of a five-tool journalist.

I also was lead researcher for Rapture: 15 teams, 4 countries, 1 NBA championship and finding a way to win - damn near anywhere, the Nick Nurse autobiography.

This is my writing page.

Writing is an essential part of human life. The beauty is where it can take you, and how each individual interprets it. Outside of common grammatical systems, there is no right or wrong. I hope to bring us closely to the craft of writing while sharing my own style and hard work with each and every one of you. From sports and detailed interviews to short stories and daily musings - this is a safe space for us to all enjoy. In no way am I an expert at this profession, but I do believe we need to keep writing and writing alive.

Feel free to offer criticisms or suggestions. We are in this together.
