In Journalism

Maganzini began working on his to-be New England sports website in the final months of 2002. In February of 2003, Maganzini officially created nesports.org. Maganzini actively posted on there until December 2005, when he decided to expand his market. That month, he and a group of colleagues collaborated on a project known as National Sports Register (NSR). NSR's aim was to cover all major sports in every region of the United States and Canada. A weekly e-newspaper .pdf was also made available on the website. The project enjoyed early success but was short-lived; the website was shut down in June of 2006. Maganzini in July of 2006 decided to go back to what was working for him before: New England sports news. He created nesportsnews.com, which is currently on hiatus, but was previously one of the most visited Boston-based sports fan websites. In October of 2006, Maganzini, an active follower of politics and current events, joined the Wakefield Etudiant as a columnist. He still blogs there regularly on the topics of music, politics, local news, and the economy.

In Business

Maganzini is an internet entrepreneur and controls all the financial and managerial aspects of his websites. He intends to consider his career as a businessman by majoring in accounting in college. He recently won 1st place in the Accounting Applications at the DECA districts, which were held at Bentley College.
