JEFF BREWER
Summit County, Ohio
As general manager of SportsInk.com, my livelihood is telling the great stories of high school athletics in Summit and Medina Counties. Those formative years meant so much to me and now I am privileged to be able to communicate the accomplishments of your sons and daughters or maybe your grandchildren. A former college sports information for 19 years, including seven years at Penn State and six years at the University of Akron, athletics has been a way of life for me since dad and I shared that first pack of Topps baseball cards in 1966.
