About Dan »

*A big thank you to all the fans of my work here at B/R. My first AOTD, The True Story of Knute Rockne: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/265043-the-true-story-of-knute-rockne-college-footballs-most-renowned-coach

Being from North Jersey, I have been a Yankees fan since the day I was brought into this world. On the other hand—I am not a Giants fan. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And most importantly.. I am an over-obsessive, subway alumni of the University of Notre Dame.

Happy to be serving as Notre Dame's newest Featured Columnist.

I currently play basketball and am also a single-digit handicap golfer. I'm a fan of all sports, but I pay in extreme attention to College Football and Basketball, the MLB, and the NFL. The reason I joined the site is to ready myself for my journey into a sports career, whether that be in broadcasting or journalism. Sports are my love and writing is my passion. I've got some dreams yet I have the motivation and passion to make those dreams turn into realities someday.

I am looking for opportunities to contribute anywhere possible. Most recently, I began contributing to fightingirishgameday.com.

I love reading - if you leave a link, I will most likely take a look.
