My name is Nick Leonardelli amd I am the sports editor for the Detroit Lakes Tribune and Perham Focus. I moved to the area in October of 2022 after covering sports for the Monroe County Herald in Sparta, WI for nearly a year. I was also working for ESPN La Crosse as a show producer. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in 2021 with a degree in sports management and a minor in media studies.

I cover sports and write columns for the Detroit Lakes Tribune and Perham Focus. You can reach me via email at nleonardelli@perhamfocus.com or by phone at 218-844-1461.

Being from Wisconsin, I am a fan of the Packers, Bucks, Brewers, Badgers, and Marquette. My favorite sport is football but basketball comes in at a close second. I enjoy hitting the gym, going out with friends, hiking, and playing video games in my free time.
