HANK UNVERZAGT
Since my first issue of SI arrived, in second grade, sports has been my favorite hobby, swimsuit issue not withstanding. My love for the Tiger athletics was locked in during my college years at CU from '87-'92. Today, I basically sling computer gear during the day while randomly checking the web for the latest Tiger info. My wife (who happens to be a UGA grad) of ten years and two daughters are fully converted Tiger fans. We have been tailgating below Jervey since the year Bowden joined the program. My family and I love all the social and entertainment aspects of going to Clemson events and catching up with old friends and classmates. To this day I attend as many as 11 Football games a season, so I live & die with the Tigers in the fall. As experience with sportscasting goes, the closest I have come to radio or TV is being a fan in the stands or in my living room. I wish I could list off all my broadcasting and media experience, but I have no qualifications. My passion for everything Clemson related is what I bring to the table. You can always contact me at TigerNationCast@yahoo.com or leave us a voicemail at 864-200-2457. We might just put you on the next podcast. Go Tigers!
TRACY UNVERZAGT
Photography became a passion of mine as a child. My informal training began, over 17 years ago, when I decided to join my high school yearbook staff. I then went on to UGA to study journalism and while at the UGA, I worked as a staff photographer for a student run newspaper, THE RED & BLACK. After graduating from the University of Georgia, Athens in 1997 with an undergrad in Journalism and Mass Communtication (ABJ)- I decided to stay at home to raise my two beautiful daughters. With a love for photography- I enveloped my creativity and energy into free-lance journalism & photography. My photos can be seen, published, monthly in UiC- Up in Cumming magazine- a Forsyth County(GA) living publication. Family, Children and Commercial photography are my specialties. I enjoy making each photo unique. I often use hand color-tinting as a medium for sepia toned printing- giving each portrait its own vintage style. Heirloom Portraits by Tracy was born five years ago as friends, family and neighbors asked me to snap their photos. Along with the market for creative greeting cards and a new found interest in graphic design, I began offering custom photo announcements, invitations, and holiday cards. As technology continues to change the world, it also impacts photography- my goal is to stay on the upside of this ever-evolving curve. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have loved creating it.
