Ray Glier is a Chief Executive Officer at Ray Glier based in Atlanta Metropolitan Area, United States, North America. Freelance sportswriter for 29 years. The publisher of the GeezerJock newsletter (www.geezerjocknewsletter.com) and Ball Atlanta, a newsletter on Sports in Atlanta. https://ballatlanta.substack.com/. It is a different take on Sports in the city; issues, trends, Xs and Os. Ball Atlanta had the news first that the Falcons would hire Arthur Smith as their coach. For 28 years I covered Sports in Atlanta for The New York Times, USA TODAY, MSNBC, CNN, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and Ozy, which is an on-line magazine. I have been doing this for 43 years and I have written six books, including How The SEC Became Goliath, the story behind the SEC's takeover of college football. You can see my work at www.rayglier.com I made "uncovering the essence" a goal. My work was always about the client and adding value. You do not succeed in the freelance writing business for 28 years without doing consistently good work. I love to write about the "home runs" hit by entrepreneurs, as well as home runs hit by the third baseman. I live by a quote attributed to the ultimate salesman, baseball's Bill Veeck: "If you are not buying what I'm selling, it's my fault, not yours." It's about accountability and being open 24/7. One night, I jumped up at 10:30 p.m. and drove to the ballpark to cover the story of the death of a fan, and found eyewitnesses. So, allow me to collaborate with you to tell your story. When you are one of 11 children in a house with one bathroom, you learn to collaborate. Specialties: Case Studies. Profiles. Trends in sports. Xs and Os. Inside Baseball. I am a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America, the Football Writers Association of America, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. In 2018, I won first....and second place....in the Georgia Sportswriters Association contest for best college sports feature writing.
