Upon graduating, he freelanced for publications like Sports Illustrated, GEO and The Philadelphia Inquirer; he also covered several Olympic events in Europe. His sports column quickly became popular and in 1989, while working with the Detroit Free Press, Albom’s career expanded when he was asked to add a weekly non-sports column to his duties for the company. His column ran on Sundays in the Comment section and dealt with American life and values; it was eventually syndicated across the country. Many of his columns have been collected into anthology books including a four series set of books entitled Live Albom I-IV. In addition to his work as a journalist, Albom has written a number of books, and many have them have been turned into films. In 1995, he married Janine Sabino. That same year he re-encountered Morrie Schwartz, a former college professor who was dying of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. His visits with Schwartz would lead to the book Tuesdays with Morrie, which moved Mitch away from sports and began his career as an internationally recognized author. Albom has founded seven charities, many in the metropolitan Detroit area, where he currently lives with his wife.
