Joe Greenwald, Web Sports Editor, Web Sports Editor
As a soccer player, dog-lover, gamer, volunteer, Latin Club president, and self-proclaimed jokester, Joe Greenwald ’13 is a jack-of-all-trades. And he can now add Web Sports Editor of Inklings to his repertoire.
It was pure chance that Greenwald ended up in Inklings at all; a scheduling mishap threw him into the Journalism for Publication class last year. It was in that class, however, where he found his love for writing, and writing for an audience in particular.
Greenwald is also a starting striker and co-captain of the boys’ soccer team, and carries his love of soccer to the virtual world in FIFA Soccer for Xbox. He has several intense rivalries with other Staples students, and his preferred team of usage is Spain’s Atletico Madrid.
Outside of school and sports, Greenwald volunteers at the George Washington Carver Center in Norwalk, helping under-privileged kids with their schoolwork and acting as a mentor.
“It is an incredibly humbling feeling,” Greenwald said of his experience at the Carver Center. “It’s moving to be able to help them; in a sense they’re giving back to me.”
As well as his love for volunteering, Greenwald also has a love for none other than mashed potatoes.
“I like a little gravy with my mashed potatoes,” he said. “Not a lot of gravy. But a little.”
