I am excited to contribute columns to BleacherReport.com, which has quickly become one of the most popular sports websites on the web. With its open and interactive format, it gives me the freedom to write what I want, when I want, while communicating with readers on topics that matter to them most.

As a resident of Sterling, Virginia, I cover the Washington Redskins and live just a few miles down the road from Ashburn, where the team holds its training camp and practices. I also write stories about the Buffalo Bills, who I have loyally followed since childhood.

From 2006 to 2008, I served as an internet columnist for Realfootball365.com, a college and pro football website that debuted in 2003.

I also have experience with the NFL as a television beat reporter. From 1999 to 2003, I covered the Bills for Time Warner's 24-hour news channel in Rochester, New York. In addition to reporting from games and press conferences, I was responsible for producing packages and performing live-shots from the Bills' practice facilities and summer training camp.

Prior to my work in upstate New York, I produced sports packages as a Redskins and Baltimore Ravens beat reporter for NBC25 in Hagerstown, Maryland.

I take pride in writing for Bleacher Report, which currently ranks as the fourth-largest sports destination on the web. With over 20 million unique visitors per month, the site offers exposure that I never dreamed that I could have. Bleacher Report is also a national media partner of USA TODAY and CBSSports.com, two sports media giants that could provide future career opportunities for me in my field.
