About Us

About the Writer: 
Daniel House

As a young high school student, I decided to pursue my dream during my freshman year in high school. I wanted to combine my love for writing and sports by starting my own website, Vikings Corner. I hoped to gain experience at a young age because I had one vision in mind: to work in sports. I poured all my young energy, passion, and confidence into this goal. I reached out to mentors, conducted informational meetings, and put all my energy into growing as a writer. 

After about a year of running my website, people wanted more content. I made it bigger, applied for a business license, and grew Vikings Corner to a level I never anticipated. The website has become one of the top Vikings blogs currently on the web. With over 8,700 Twitter followers and a steady readership, I have connected with passionate Vikings fans across the globe. I have gained so much valuable experience, while partnering with the likes of ESPN, Priority Sports, and many others for specific projects. I have covered the Vikings at training camp and during the NFL Draft at Winter Park. Vikings Corner recently turned five years old and has become more than just a website -- it is a community. There is nothing I enjoy more than connecting with fans and continuing to follow my vision. I have always used hard work, gratitude, confidence, and sacrifice as core principles during this journey. I have taken risks and used every success or failure as a learning experience. 

I'm currently a junior at the University of Minnesota studying journalism in the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication. In addition, I’m pursuing a sports mangement minor in the College of Education and Human Development. Attending the University of Minnesota has provided me with many opportunities to continue gaining experience. I now cover Minnesota Golden Gopher football and men’s basketball for GopherHole.com. It has been an elite experience covering a Big Ten program in one of the best athletic conferences in the country. During the NFL season, I also produce weekly fantasy football rankings for my mentor, Paul Charchian, at LeagueSafe.com
In the future, I hope to continue sharing stories with the world. There is nothing more rewarding than crafting a valuable story about an athlete, coach, or fan. At 20 years old, I have written feature stories, covered events, and walked the sidelines during games. I have done things I only dreamed I could do at my age. I continue to work hard at developing my craft and I never settle for anything less than perfection. More importantly, I remember where I came from and embrace the process every day.

I’m thankful to many of my mentors and family who have believed in me over the years. More importantly, I can't thank all of the readers enough for their continued support. Your words of encouragement mean more than you know. This is only beginning of my journey and I can't wait to see where my vision takes me.
