He has experienced an eclectic array of career experiences including being a carpenter, an army reserve officer, a radio disc jockey and producer, a writer, an educational consultant, and a teacher, coach, and school administrator in the Boston Public Schools for over 30 years.
Burgess is a member of the Golf Writer's Association of America and has written numerous sports and entertainment stories over the past decade. In 2005, he published Golf Links, a golf history, and his first release for Rounder Books.
Love that Dirty Water - The Standells and the improbable Red Sox Victory Anthem, his first co-authored project where he partnered with "Rounder Founder" and prolific writer Bill Nowiln in 2007, followed Golf Links.
Burgess's latest effort for Rounder Books is A View From the Booth, a fascinating look at professional sports broadcasting, the New England Patriots, and the storied careers of legendary Patriots radio announcers Gil Santos and Gino Cappelletti. Co-authored with former Boston Herald writer Jim Baker, A View From The Booth was released in 2008.
