About Me

I’m Brendan Samson, a 3+1 Journalism major from Westminster, Massachusetts an hour and fifteen minutes outside of Boston. My main interests are sports, in high school I played baseball, football, and basketball, and soaked up any information I could about sports. Being from Massachusetts I am a huge Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, and Celtics fan and am happy to be part of the city of champions. This has led me to two different clubs on campus. I write for the Quinnipiac Chronicle where I wrote an opinion article about Antonio Brown last semester. I also host a radio show about fantasy football for WQAQ along with three of my friends on Friday from 6-7pm. I also play intramural sports, in the fall nine of my friends and I made an intramural flag football team and I plan to play 10 v 10 softball in the spring. For me, my perfect career would involve me working on a major sports network, either hosting a show, commentating games, reporting, or even just writing articles. I love talking about anything sports and am excited to see where my interest and knowledge can take me. Through this class, I hope to improve my camera skills as well as my editing. My only experience with either of those skills is a film class I took my senior year of high school and I was more of an actor in the class than a camera man or editor. I hope to grow in all areas of filming and camera work, and hopefully become confident in making my own work. I also would like to become more comfortable in front of a camera, because ideally I will be in front of a camera in one of my jobs down the line.
