Trevor Anderson of the Spartanburg Herald-Journal has been hired as a reporter for the Upstate Business Journal in South Carolina.
Anderson writes, “I spent my freshman year in college at Gardner-Webb University. The following year, I transferred to the University of South Carolina-Upstate.
“I bounced around between majors for the first couple of years. My main focus was on soccer and my grades really suffered. During my junior year, I decided to make the jump back into communications. Gradually, my grades started to improve and I began thinking about the future.
“After graduation, I went to work as a freelance writer for GSA Business. I wanted to find a full-time job in my hometown, so one day I put on a tie and walked into the Herald-Journal in downtown Spartanburg.
“I was hired part-time at first, covering everything from volleyball games to dirt-track racing. After paying my dues for a while, I was offered the job as the business reporter in 2006.”
