Hi! I’m Nate Schmeckpeper (he/him). I am a Freshman and sports writer for the Evanstonian. This is my first year writing but I love writing and following my dream of being a sports reporter/broadcaster. Outside of writing, I run Cross Country and play baseball for Evanston. I love hanging out with my friends and watching sports.
