Hello!

My name is James Riedel, I am a Junior at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey studying Journalism and Media studies with a minor in Digital Communications.

At my time at University I have had the opportunity to fine tune my skills as a writer and editor. In the Summer of 2014 I started my own sports and pop culture blog, FigJournal, which I have now written over 50 articles for, attracting over 2,000 unique visitors. When I was a sophomore I served as a video production intern for a local radio station and followed it up by starting my own YouTube channel which is now at the 62,000 subscriber mark.

My life long dream is to serve as an advance scout for an NBA team. The job of an advance scout is too observe the tendencies and game plans of upcoming opponents in order to assist the coaching staff in coming up with a winning formula. Writing articles such as this one for my website has given me invaluable experience breaking down NBA footage and conveying its meaning through text and video in an easy to understand way.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my website, I encourage you to browse around and look at some of my projects and organizations I am involved in!
