Seattle Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks

I joined the Seattle Seahawks as a contracted writer in July 2020. My main role is to write the daily “Round-Up” article on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week. In addition to those three stories each week, I am available for extra work whenever it is needed. The extra work includes features and stories on team events held in the community. I also filled in for the Seahawks’ team reporter in November 2020 while he was on paternity leave. During that month, I was the full-time writer for the team from Monday-Wednesday each week. This included writing news stories, analysis pieces and press conference reactions, along with my usual Round-Ups.

This page includes a variety of stories from my time with the Seahawks — Round-Ups, features, community stories and more.

DJ Supa Sam Combines Military Background, Love For Music/Sports

This is a feature article for the Seattle Seahawks’ Gameday Magazine.

Before becoming the Seattle Seahawks' official in-game DJ, Shaun Samuels served in the U.S. Army from 1996 through 1999. Placed in the 2nd Infantry Division, 3rd Brigade of the U.S. Army, Samuels was located at Fort Lewis just outside of Tacoma for the duration of his tenure.

Samuels spent the first 18 years of his life in the small city of Marion, S.C., so his move across the country was a massive change. He went to military school just after graduating high school with the intention of using his military money to pay for college. After a few months of basic training in Lawton, Okla., Samuels was sent to Fort Lewis – and he hasn't left Washington since.
