Patrick Hruby
Writer, editor, and journalist
Welcome! I’m Deputy Editor at Washingtonian magazine, a communications consultant, and author of the Hreal Sports newsletter. I’ve worked as an editor or writer for VICE, ESPN, Sports on Earth, Global Sport Matters, and The Washington Times, and I’ve contributed to a number of publications including The Atlantic,
The Guardian,
The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. I've also taught journalism at my undergraduate alma mater, Georgetown University, and been a fellow at the University of Texas.
I've been a been a guest, moderator, and host on television, documentaries, talk radio, podcasts, and panel discussions. I’ve covered a wide variety of sports (and non-sports) related subjects, including the racial injustice of big-time college sports; the medical mystery of 9/11 responders suffering from early onset cogntive decline; the man behind the myth of Dock Ellis' LSD no-hitter; and the forever War on Rats in our nation’s capital. (We're losing). I hold a master’s degree from Northwestern University and live with my lovely wife, Saphira, and the world’s greatest golden retriever in Washington, D.C.
