My name is Michael Heilman. I am a writer, videographer, and photographer for BGMSportsTrax. My sports fandom began as a kid watching Pat Summerall and John Madden every Sunday along with the other great announcers from Dick Enberg, and Frank Gifford, to hockey’s Gary Thorne and Bill Clement. I knew I wanted to do something in sports as a career.
I started BGMSportsTrax in 2016 on Blogger while attending a community college in South Jersey and working a part-time job. I graduated from Atlantic Cape Community College in 2016 with an Associate Degree in Media Production and attended Stockton University shortly after.
During my time at Stockton University, I worked for the school’s newspaper called “The Argo” and was inducted into the National Honor Society of Leadership and Success. While I was working for the school newspaper, I wrote sports stories for them from the topics that were posted on BGMSportsTrax. BGMSportsTrax started as a YouTube channel where I filmed local motorsports races from the South Jersey area including NASCAR, monster trucks, and more.
Over time, I started to write articles on different sports topics from football, baseball, motorsports, and more. During my college years, I got my first taste of the sports world by working for a professional soccer team known as Atlantic City FC of the National Premier Soccer League where I wrote game recaps for the team and the league website.
During that season, Atlantic City FC made it to the playoffs. Not long after the season ended, I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in communications/ media production at Stockton University and BGMSportsTrax became a full-time job.
