T.J. Walker shares about making a positional shift by leaving his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky to pursue a journalism degree and career opportunity in Lexington, Kentucky. This involved telling his friends and family, who were accustomed to staying in Louisville, about his decision.

After graduating from the University of Kentucky with a journalism degree, T.J. accepted a job offer from Rivals.com that would keep him in Lexington for the foreseeable future. Though the change was difficult, he felt the career opportunity was too good to pass up.
