Writer

 

Harv Aronson was born and raised in Pittsburgh but now lives in Jacksonville, Florida with his beautiful wife
Melissa.

Harv’s writing career began at North Hills High School in Pittsburgh where he was a sportswriter for the “Tribal
Tribune” in 1975. As a college student at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania, Harv wrote for the school
newspaper, “The Rocket” as well as served as a disc jockey and sports announcer on the university radio
station, WRCK. Harv also held the role as Sports Director at WRCK, doing play by play for the football team
and for an NCAA wrestling championship qualifier.

Since graduating from Slippery Rock in 1982, Harv has written for many sports outlets, had run his own
Pittsburgh Steelers website called “Steelers Hotline” for 15 years and in 2023 conducted a podcast titled “Total
Sports Recall.” Harv also authored a book in 2012, “Pro Football’s Most Passionate Fans” that profiled football
fans that were recipients of the Visa Hall of Fans Award. The award was an honor presented to one fan from
every NFL team who was named fan of the year for their respective team. The book is still available from
several sites on the internet.

Currently, Harv writes for Abstract Sports, Yinzer Crazy, the Sick Podcast, and the magazine Gridiron Greats.
Harv’ passion is for sports history but also writes articles about current sports topics. Harv loves all sports but
his passion for pro sports began in 1971 as he watched Roberto Clemente, and the Pittsburgh Pirates defeat the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. As a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan and other Pittsburgh sports, Harv enjoys all sports and is an avid combat sports fan focusing on MMA and boxing.

Harv is a veteran of the United States Coast Guard where he served aboard the cutter Gallatin with the job role of radioman. Since 1987 Harv has worked for several corporate offices currently working for a financial
company in Florida.
