About

*I will no longer be writing on Bleacher Report. I have accomplished what I set out to prove...that I am a more than capable, quality sports writer. *

*From this point on, I will only consider freelance work that I will be compensated for so if you have read my articles and have an interest in working with me, you can send me a private message with detailed information including what the compensation will be.*

I received my BA in 2007 in Journalism-Public Relations and I am now working on my Masters in Mass Communications.

I am a very proud husband and father who enjoys writing passionately about sports, mainly NFL and NBA writing. I dedicate this page to my lovely wife and my wonderful son, everything that I do, it's for you two.

My two favorite teams are the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Rockets and I follow just about everything that they do.

I pride myself on being knowledgeable in all aspects of sports and I look forward to contributing to the Bleacher Report on a daily basis and building up my status as a great writer.

    Hey RO, hows it going?

    I've been away from B/R for a while but just hit it back up with a flurry of articles in the last week and a half.

    Check out my feature on Michael Beasley, and why the Heat should strongly consider keeping him.

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/393159-why-letting-michael-beasley-go-could-be-the-miami-heats-biggest-blunder

    If you like that, check out the others I've written recently, there's one on there about Pat Riley assembling a dynasty in Miami which can be found here:

    Thanks mate, and enjoy!

    I can't believe you, man. You effing used me. All of this was about compensation? You were just looking for a job? You should be ashamed of yourself.
