Background

About Cory Geer

I grew up in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pa about 75 miles north of Pittsburgh. I grew up in a town where everyone knew everyone else. I love sports and enjoy hearing the opinions of others. I'm currently a journalism student at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. At Pitt-Johnstown I've been exposed to broadcast and print journalism. I've learn that no matter what the journalist should report the facts and let experts give their own opinions on the issue. I started off at the Pitt-Johnstown as an undeclared student who didn't know if I wanted to an engineer or a lawyer. I quickly realized that I wanted to tell a story and it lead me into the journalism. At Pitt-Johnstown I've had many different real-world experiences in the journalism and public relations fields. At the student newspaper, The Advocate, I worked my way up from a contributing writer to sports editor. I've also called games as the color commentator for the women's basketball team. I love meeting new people. Reach out if you would like to talk about the future of journalism or would simply like to talk sports.
