About Aaron »

I'm a 25 year old male out of Columbus, OH, where I still continue to live (sort of). I've always enjoyed writing, and I've always enjoyed sports, though I never even thought of combining the two until I stumbled on Bleacher Report in November, 2009. Hockey is by far my sport of choice, though I also enjoy football and even some tennis.

I work full-time for a high-end clothing store by day, and then balance watching sports and keeping the wife happy by night. Up to two nights a week, I also tend goal for a couple of local beer league roller hockey teams.

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Mine's weaker than most, but I'll never forget my mom letting me stay up late (as an 8-year-old) to watch the Duke/Kentucky game in 1992, and watching Christian Laettner's famous buzzer-beater live. Even if it was on TV.
