Welcome!
I’m TJ Mabardy, a sports media professional who has long wanted to turn a lifelong passion for sports into a career. Whether I’m writing, creating social content, hosting a podcast, or producing live sporting events, I’m driven by the same goal: to tell compelling stories that make fans want to keep watching, listening, and learning.
I’m working toward becoming a deeper student of sports history, not just knowing what happened, but understanding why it mattered. I have experience across different forms of content creation, and I try to combine my knowledge, passion, and willingness to experiment to create content that stands out. My biggest passions are football, basketball, and Boston sports. However, I am open to any challenges that help me expand my expertise.
This portfolio showcases the work I’ve produced since graduating from Quinnipiac University in 2023, including articles, podcasts, social media content, and other multimedia projects. As I continue to grow as a sports media professional, I am always looking for opportunities to learn, collaborate, and contribute. I’d love to connect with others who share that passion.
