Total Doofus: My Story

2 min readMar 16, 2021

Hi. My name is Ian Binker. I was born on January 8th, 2002 and have lived in Oregon my entire life. I always liked writing way more than reading and I found my love of sports in my early teenage years. In high school, I played football and track for all four years but like many, found my senior year cut short by the Covid-19 Pandemic. I am a first year student at Southern Oregon University and am studying Communications. I would not be here without immense support from the people around me. My family and friends. The people who have given me advice or even a friendly word. I hope my writing is to your liking.

This was my first ever sports related story on Medium.

My second and possibly favorite sports story on Medium. By now, my reporting skills have started to improve.

This was a fun article about a relevant topic. The Reddit vs. Wall Street battle was a huge story at the time of writing. GameStop and the Art of GameStonks was one of my favorite stories to write.

This is my most recent sport story, a spotlight on a few specific players in the NFL as they move towards 2021.

This is one of my most recent stories. It goes over in detail the sustainable energy Southern Oregon University strives to be a beacon for.
