A three-sport letter-winner in high school, sports have always had an impact on my emotions (as millions, I'm sure, can relate to). I've always found writing therapeutic. So, writing about sport fits my bill.

I am a graduate of Michigan State University's Journalism School. My intent is to serve you all as a fan who trains in writing and thus practices journalism.

I have served in numerous positions. I was a national news editor and layout director for Purpose Magazine. I moved on to online storytelling as an Arts and Culture writer for The Big Green Online Magazine. But beyond my recent post as the communications assistant and desktop publisher for the Michigan State University Spartan Fund, I also contribute as an editor here for all you "Bleacher Creatures."

I love all the major professional and collegiate sports. But I especially love the fact that sports bring people together. I really relish the opportunities to join my family on ocassion to watch the next Puerto Rican boxer rise to fame. I also love to join my fraternity brothers outside Spartan Stadium whenever there is a planned tailgate (Ditto for the Final Fours). Lastly, I love the fact that WHEN the Cubs go to the world Series, I will be joined, not only by 20 of my immediate family members, but also by millions of brothers and sisters armed with the same blue hat.

I'm truly just a fan. I bleed Cubbie blue and have an engrained 'C' on my forehead. I live to see the Cubs win a World Series for my forefathers who've fallen without purchasing a memorial Cubs' World Series shirt or other particular paraphanelia. I'm very opinionated but have the ability to be objective.

Hey, I'm a journalist. Most of all, I'm a fan.
