W.G. Ramirez credits April 1987 as the year he saw his first byline published in the Las Vegas Sentinel-Voice, Nevada’s only African-American newspaper. Since then, he's covered sports throughout Southern Nevada. He was the Southern Nevada correspondent for USA Today high school sports during the early 90s, and, since 2012, has been a correspondent for the Associated Press. He is an on-air personality for ESPN Las Vegas, is a frequent guest on Southern Nevada sports shows, also a content provider in the sports-gaming industry, providing columns and analyses on various sports. Perhaps just as important as his professional career accomplishments, Willie is an advocate for Mental Health Awareness, and co-created the annual "Baggage" project in Southern Nevada with local high school coach and educator William Hemberger, which encourages teens to discuss the importance of discussing the "baggage" they carry mentally and that "It Is Okay To Not Be Okay."
