I just graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Journalism.

I spent 2 1/2 years on staff in the sports section of the student newspaper at UF, and I was the sports editor for my last semester.

I covered UF football (including a trip to the national championship game last season), basketball, baseball, volleyball and community college baseball and basketball in my time in Gainesville.

Born and raised in South Florida, my biggest rooting interest actually lies with Hockeytown's Detroit Red Wings. Don't ask why. Just know that I live and die with that team. They're the only bunch that can get me to scream at my television.
