Hey everybody, I'm Tom. I'm a self-professed sports nerd, and my favorite teams to follow are the San Francisco 49ers, New Jersey Devils, and New York Mets, in that order. I graduated from The College of New Jersey in 2013 with a degree in Communication, also moonlighting as a freelance journalist while in school.

In the past, I covered the high school sports beat for the Coast Star, a weekly newspaper based in Manasquan, NJ. In high school, I was an award-winning sports writer and columnist for four years, serving as Sports Editor my senior year. I've also done radio commentary at Marist College for football, soccer, and basketball, as well as hosting my own sports talk show for a year and a half in college and three years in high school.

Outside of writing, I'm a big fan of sports movies and sports documentaries, especially almost anything from the "30 for 30" series. I'm also an active musician and avid concert-goer. For more, follow me on twitter at @BlackSoxTom. I can also be contacted at smeatonNFL@gmail.com.
