NASCAR Editor

Having covered a bunch of other sports like basketball, NFL, and Tennis, his multi-sports lens informs the structured and broader approach to his coverage. What further separates Somin's editorial perspective is the time he's spent on the other side of the scoreboard - leading teams on the ground and serving as a Sports Representative during his graduation years.
