Bio
Brett Zallek
I worked with Kevin at The Record—the student newspaper for the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University. I worked as the Sports Editor for three semesters, and Kevin was always one of our most consistent and reliable writers for the Sports section. He has a knack for writing game coverage and describing the action in the game so the reader feels the ups and downs of the game, and his passion for sports comes through in his work ethic and writing.
