My name is Ryan Sarda and I am a 24-year-old Sanford resident. I graduated from Western Carolina University in the Class of 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication focusing in Print Journalism. I grew up in Durham and attended Southern Durham High School. Being a sports reporter is something I have always wanted to do ever since I was a little kid. I love sports, I love writing, so I figured I’d put the two together.

Hi,
I visited your sports blog The Performance Enhancing Blog at http://ryansarda.wordpress.com/. You have really great articles and I’m glad I found your site.
I would like to know if you’re accepting guest blog posts, I’d like to send you an original blog entry on basketball which I think would fit nicely with your site. I’m doing this for free but would only require 1 backlink in the article to my site.
Please let me know if you’re interested in publishing this basketball blog entry so I can send it to you for publication soon.
Thank you
Shirly Giagone

Nice blog. You’re truly lucky to find your dream job right out of college. I’m doing my best to follow in your footsteps at the Mountaineer. Hopefully I’ll be the next in line of successful proteges’ of “The Godfather” to make their mark on the sports reporting wordl

Thanks for the support. Western is a great school. Loved it there. Nice to know one of our own lives in Lee County.
