About

- Born in Wheeling, WV. Reside in Los Angeles, CA.

- Graduated from Marshall University with a degree in journalism, where I also played baseball as a pitcher.

- Writing for over six years, including a featured column for faniq.com and current Co-Authoring of a book about the life of Orioles catcher, Rick Dempsey.

    Thanks for the kind words, Rick! Great to hear you are a golf writer too. While it's definitely a smaller community on B/R, it always get's exciting around the majors. I'm glad to hear you've received a warm welcome and I hope you won't hesitate to reach out to me if I can help at all. In terms of thinking blue, it's a constant feeling, despite being in an office surrounded by Giants and A's fans. It's only made me a stronger advocate for the Dodgers haha Thanks again!

    Thanks for becoming a fan, Rick! I see you are pretty new to B/R — how are you liking it so far? I've really enjoyed your last few baseball articles, especially your first about the Dodgers. I'm originally from LA, though live in SF now, and am doing my best to remain optimistic about next season. Do you plan on primarily covering baseball, or do you like to write about any other sports?

    Thanks again, Rick.
