I'm a recently-graduated alumnus of Indiana University, with a degree in journalism and a double major in political science.

Sports reporting is what I had planned to do with said degree -- the economy had other ideas. So for the time being, I'm just counting down the days until the government starts adding me to the 8 1/2 percent and working as hard as I can to change that.

I spent last summer interning for MLB.com covering the Washington Nationals in D.C., and I covered the IU men's basketball team for the Indiana Daily Student during the 2008-2009 season. During my time on the sports desk there, I also covered IU women's basketball and baseball, and ran the desk as an editor twice. I was editor-in-chief for one summer too, since you can never have too many ulcers.

With what little spare time there is, I usually choose riding my bike over non-essentials like eating and sleeping. Thanks Little 500, that's a habit I'll never break.

On the serious side, I'm an aspiring sports journalist with a hand in everything and a desire to do even more. Someday soon, someone is going to develop a mega-engine that somehow combines Twitter, blogging, hyperlinks, RSS feeds, audio, video and something we haven't heard of yet into the greatest way to report sports, and I plan to be there when they do.

Until then, let's see what crazy stuff we can do with this business.
