Writing career

As a hobby, Kearney started an online blog called AidanFromWorcester.com, where he posted on a variety of issues. After he resigned from teaching,[2] Kearney started the supposedly anonymous website, Turtleboy Sports, which he eventually turned into a full-time career.[3] Turtleboy is a nickname for the Burnside Fountain in Worcester, which he began using upon the suggestion of a former student.[4]
