About

Joined B/R in March (or was it April?) of '09 looking for an outlet to start writing again. Was a Featured Columnist for the 49ers for a short time, but now I fill that roll for my alma mater, San Jose State. Also like to write about MMA.

Education: Graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in journalism in 2003; served as a staff writer, managing editor and senior staff writer on the Spartan Daily 2002-2003; recipient of Golf Writer's Association of America scholarship in 2002. Covered San Jose State sports as well as general news while a member of the Spartan Daily.

Sports: Training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for six years, currently hold the rank of brown belt; earned brown belt in judo in 2003 while at San Jose State; also black belt in tae kwon do. Four years of kickboxing training. 1-1 record in amatuer MMA.

***If we have never interacted, and you are not writing about something that I normally read or write about, please don't pimp your story with a link on my page. I'm not against people who do that, I simply have no time to read someone's cricket slideshow. Thanks.***
