About

My name is Chris, and I love sports.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and I attended UNLV. I generally write about the Rebels and the Mountain West Conference as a featured columnist here at the Bleacher Report.

I love basketball. I love football. I love volleyball.

My goal is to eventually become the greatest and most influential sportswriter of all time.

I'd settle for being able to earn a living covering sports.

I'd like nothing more than to someday be able to spend my time in a gym or near a field somewhere, tapping away at the keys on my laptop.

If you'd like to make my dream come true, feel free to contact me.

    Hey Chris,
    I'd really appreciate if you could check this out.
    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/288823-ball-overseas-a-new-life-for-manhattans-devon-austin
    It's a unique article about Manhattan's Devon Austin who is adjusting to his first year of pro ball in Europe and I think it speaks a lot about what these guys need to go through in order to achieve their goal of playing for a living.
    Take care,
    Ari

    Can the Knicks' Jared Jeffries at the very least regain some of his pride this season?
