Christopher's Bio

First of all, thanks for checking into my profile.

As a start, I love playing and watching sports. I have found a passion for Major League Soccer and written (in numerous places) for about 2 years. This is one of the few areas I can usually answer any question, or give a detailed take/outlook on things across the league.

I follow Pittsburgh sports teams pretty heavily, and may occasionally write something about them - or U of Pittsburgh basketball. I also am a huge fan of USA sports and just feel a general sense of supporting my country, as many of you do too. I have some individual athletes outside of these areas, who I like for various reasons and may mention/write upon every once in awhile.

I hope to add to the b/r community, mainly in MLS, and hope you enjoy reading my articles. Any questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas you would like me to write about, just let me know.

More to come here I am sure, but not too sure what to write about myself.
