John Vandelinder

John Vandelinder joined the Craig Daily Press in August 2007. He graduated from Palm Beach Community College with communications degree, and has won several awards as a baseball play-by-play broadcaster. Now, he’s trying his hand in the print form of journalism, a field he says he “loves way better” than radio. In his free time, he enjoys golfing, as well as reading and watching crime novels and shows. And sports, of course.
