About

As a working journalist for the past decade, I have enjoyed covering everything from NASCAR to the NHL, Division I football, baseball and basketball and every high school sport you can imagine. I've even covered surfing and deep-sea fishing. But football is my true passion and I was Bleacher Report's featured columnist for the Rams during the 2009 season and now cover the Rams for the Alton Telegraph and cbssports.com.
A life-long Packers fan, I take an objective look at the Rams and not see things through blue and gold-colored glasses.
I've published a mock draft each of the past 10 seasons, five of which have been in daily newspapers in North Carolina and Virginia. I'm a Summa Cum Laude graduate of East Carolina University with a degree in broadcast journalism, and currently work in the metro St. Louis area for the Alton Telegraph.
