JOHN McALEAVEY
The Providence College graduate realized early enough that a career between the lines would not be in the cards. Therefore, in order to stay involved in the sports world, he turned to calling PC Friar games on radio and hosting a weekly call-in show while in college. A three-year internship at WPRI – ABC TV 12 in Providence, Rhode Island readied him for his first job at Sports News Network. At the 24-hour sports network, he worked in all facets of television production from logging games, to writing scripts, to editing highlights. In 1992, a serious spinal cord injury derailed his dream for some time, but thanks to Steve Tichenor and Matt Loughlin, he’s back in the game again with More Sports Now. In 2020 John created The QuadCast, a podcast which is mainly for and about folks like him who have had their lives affected by a SCI, but is really for ANYONE who just wants to be inspired. Each and every one of his episodes can be found on his website, which is www.quadcast.org. When not talking about sports or recording podcasts, John is the Peer Coordinator at Kessler Institute For Rehabilitation in West Orange, New Jersey. Lastly, he is the very happy and proud owner of YoKen, wonderful service dog from Canine Companions.
