About

I gradutaed from Texas A&M in May of 2008. While there, I worked as a sports writer, sports editor, and editor in chief of the A&M student newspaper, The Battalion (we won our first ACP Pacemaker award during my year as eic). I'm currently working as sports editor for the Weatherford Telegram, a weekly paper half an hour west of Fort Worth. I will cover professional sports one day (hopefully as a feature writer)...I'm awaiting my call up from the minor leagues.
