Paul's Bio

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.

As a Knicks Featured Columnist, I will be making periodical attempts to give fans an inside look at the different aspects of Knicks games. Take a look at what I came up with when Lebron James came to visit.

How you been Paul?

It's been a while, but I found Matsui's MVP award significant enough for me to write a piece on it: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/285100-matsuis-mvp-award-important-for-asians-world-in-mlb?just_published=1

Lemme know what'cha think.

Everyone has dreams of playing a professional sport. Sirr Parker did in football. But it was impossible for him to do that from where he grew up. But he made it, and he's truly remarkable. It's a story I'd love to share with you:

I'd love your feedback on this and I hope you can check it out. Thank you, and have a great day!
