Autorenporträt
A lifetime resident of the Palmetto State and graduate of the University of South Carolina's journalism school, David Caraviello twice covered the Gamecocks over a twenty-five-year career as a sportswriter that took him to every SEC stadium, numerous bowl games, both the men's and women's Final Four and too many barbecue joints to count. Unwilling to take on the easy assignments, his stints as Gamecocks beat writer included consecutive 1-10 and 0-11 football seasons under Brad Scott and Lou Holtz, as well as Steve Spurrier's abrupt resignation late on a Monday night. In between stretches reporting on the Gamecocks, Caraviello covered auto racing, emerging as one of the foremost editorial voices in the sport. The 2000 South Carolina Sports Writer of the Year, Caraviello has earned numerous others writing accolades and is a two-time recipient of the Russ Catlin Award, the highest honor in motorsports journalism. He lives near Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife, two children and two dogs.
