Charlie Thomas

I am from Rockford, Illinois, about an hour north of Chicago. So why did I decide to travel 12 hours south to Stillwater, Oklahoma? In short, sports media. I've always been passionate about sports, and ever since I can remember, I was always consuming sports somehow, whether it was playing, watching, or even collecting baseball cards, Sports were always in my life, and now I'm trying to make a career out of it.

​

Another main passion of mine is golf. I love getting out in nature and letting go, and golf is my way of doing that. Playing with my Dad during the summers is one of my favorite things to do. Along with golf, I love music. From Country to Rap, to Pop, I just love listening to music all the time. One final thing I enjoy is the gym. It's another form of escapism, just like golf and music. The gym gives me the opportunity to, not only feel good about myself, but also not worry about the stresses in my life. 

​

As for a career, I am passionate about a multitude of jobs that have to do with sports. That could be sports writing, sports broadcasting, or even becoming a sports information director. Within all these fields I have experience, whether it be broadcasting Oklahoma State Women's Basketball, writing articles on Cowboy Tennis, or actually working for Oklahoma State Communications, studying under future SIDs. Either career path I end up gravitating towards, I know I have that experience and will be successful.
