Richie Contreras hosted Midland’s own Arch Bell, the Senior Writer and Editor for Concacaf. We talked about his initial experience with soccer in 1986 after watching the World Cup in México and his move to Spain in 1996 to begin writing about soccer. Archie worked in the tech industry but decided to switch careers after writing an article about Guisseppe Rossi in 2011 for ESPN. We also highlighted his ability to become fluent with Spanish and how being bilingual has helped him grow in the communications industry.
