About Paul »

Sports and travel have long been my two passions. When I stumbled upon Bleacher Report in March 2009, I did not have a real interest in writing, but I have steadily enjoyed learning to like writing. More importantly, I love to explore interesting topics and engage in healthy debate with my fellow sports fans.

Since joining Bleacher Report in March 2009, I have been inspired to chase my dreams. My goal is to develop a sports site that provides information to travelers who are looking for how to make the most of their next sporting event.

Please take a look when you have a chance, and feel free to send any suggestions you may have. I would also love to have you join as a Face Book fan so you can receive updates about our progress.
