Austin's Bio

Born and raised in the Queen City of Charlotte, NC. I've grown up a huge sports fan and want to eventually become a sports writer. I've played soccer, basketball, baseball, football, and tennis. I was born a Tarheels fan and continue to bleed Carolina blue. Since the Panthers came to the NFL I've been a huge fan and follow them religiously as well. As far as baseball goes, I was raised an LA Dodgers fan by my dad and continue to cheer and follow them (even though I never get to see them play living on the East Coast). I joined this site to hopefully find a place to write about and discuss sports with people who have a similar interest level as I do.

I was named a co-community leader for the Carolina Panthers in November 08.

Always looking to meet new sports fans

THANK YOUR EDITORS! Whether or not you agree with them, thank them. They are only out to make us better.

Austin became the Carolina Panthers Fan Voice on the new NFLTouchdown.com in April of 2009. Visit him by clicking here.
