My name is Jacob Verdis. I turn 23 years old in October and I am in my first semester as a Graduate Student at Towson University. I was born and raised in the Baltimore-area. I attended Calvert Hall College High School where I played Baseball and ran Indoor Track. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication Arts from Salisbury University in May of 2007. For the past year I worked as a General Assignment Television Reporter at an ABC affilliate stationed in Salisbury covering the happenings of the entire Eastern Shore but I decided in July I wanted to head back to school to further my education. I am working towards a Master’s Degree in the Journalistic Writing track of the Professional Writing program. Beyond my love of sports and writing I enjoy playing music, the outdoors, and my Jeep!
