Blog 1

This is my first blog and to start off I will introduce myself. I am John Horning and I am a student at Mount St Mary's. I major in Communications and hope to use that to work in sports in some kind of capacity. I use to play lacrosse at the Mount but have struggled with anxiety and depression that made it difficult to continue to playing. I have a long connection to the Mount having had many family members attend here including both my parents.

My interest outside of school includes fishing, lacrosse, and golf. During the summer, I spend the majority of my off time offshore fishing on my father's boat. Fishing is something that I am passionate about and it runs in my family. My cousin, Jimmy, starred on National Geographic's "Wicked Tuna Outer Banks," and my Dad is a successful captain who has won the White Marlin Open twice. The White Marlin Open is the largest billfish tournament in the world that takes place in Ocean City, Maryland.
