My name is Alex Winfree. I am a 2013 graduate of Radford University (Virginia). I got my start covering sports for Radford's student-run paper, the Tartan. I covered both baseball and men's basketball. Since graduating, I have freelanced for both the Powhatan Today and Midlothian exchange, weekly locals in Central Virginia. My first love is baseball, but I also enjoy covering football and basketball. I'm currently working full-time as a body shop parts manager for Rick Hendrick Chevrolet in Richmond Virginia, but aspire to one day cover Major League Baseball full-time.
