Charles Mays

I'm Charles Mays, the founder of Mays Sports Media, an independent sports outlet I built from the ground up. I'm a Ridgely, Tennessee native now based in Knoxville, and I got my start covering Florida State athletics for SB Nation's Tomahawk Nation before stepping out on my own. My coverage now centers on Vanderbilt Athletics and the sport of softball at the collegiate and pro levels, with a broader take on national sports stories worth telling. I also launched the Fastpitch Wire Softball brand in 2025, covering softball at all levels. As an independent writer, I'm not backed by a major network or corporate media group. I've earned my access, my sources, my credibility and trust through ethical and serious work.
