I am a 25-year-old journalist and Mets fan living in Brooklyn, having moved from England in June 2009.

I am obsessed with baseball, basketball, New York sports and statistics.

I am excited to report that I am no longer set for another season of sleepless nights in front of the computer watching internet streams of sports games happening 2,500 miles away from me when I have to be at work a mere few hours after they conclude.

This summer I married my beautiful fiancee Lisa, and now I have the daunting task of trying to move all of our belongings into our new apartment.

I studied for my BA (hons) in journalism at the University of Central Lancashire in England and at SUNY Plattsburgh in upstate New York.

For the last three years I worked as a journalist at a weekly newspaper in Yorkshire, England. I was highly commended in the Young Journalist of the Year category at the 2009 Yorkshire and Humber o2 Press Awards and I was shortlisted to the final five of the Yorkshire Press Awards in the features category.

I also worked as a freelance for Sky Sports (www.skysports.com) writing live minute-by-minute English Premier League football commentaries, rugby reports and horse writing pieces.

My other passions consist of box scores, traveling, writing, skiing and bacon... not necessarily in that order.
