About Alan »

I am an avid sports fan from the Bay Area currently finishing up my journalism degree. My goal in life after my athletic career peaked in eighth grade is to still be involved in sports and be paid.

Until one of my teams wins a championship, or possibly even then, the sports highlight of my life was flying home to watch Game Three of the Warriors-Mavericks series in 2007. As they said all the time during that series, the atmosphere at Oracle Arena was like none other.

As long as it's constructive, never hesitate to criticize my articles. As an aspiring journalist I am always working to improve my writing. All I ask is you tell me a reason why you didn't like something.
