About

I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm a die-hard Cavs fan, I try my best not to think of the Browns and the mid-'90s Indians were one of the highlights of my life. I went to college in Pittsburgh, where I got to see first-hand what happens when a city actually wins something. Now I live in Brooklyn; I do my best to cheer on the Nets, but it's kind of hard when all the games are attended by transplants looking to see their hometown team...not that I haven't done that.

I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor's in Political Science. After finishing school and moving to New York, I worked for two years as the Lead Copywriter at an e-commerce company. That was all good and fun, but now I'm looking to move my writing and editing background into the sports realm.

    Hey James. One of recent articles has been live for quite some time, but hasn't been edited and I was wondering if you could give it a look. (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1609696-complete-guide-to-san-antonio-spurs-postseason) Thanks a ton, Garrett.

    Hey James, thanks for the edits! Especially appreciate you going through and finding that preseason pick to add in. As for the "others receiving votes" section on that George slide, it wasn't necessary because they were all included one slide later under Aldridge's section. Again, much appreciated for taking the time to look over it!

    Just read your profile...yes, block out the Browns, because not only did Modell stick a knife through those fans' hearts, but he twisted it when Browns great Ozzie Newsome brought the former Browns first one Super Bowl and now two, plus arguably the greatest defense ever to play in the NFL.

    How is living in Brooklyn? It's one of those places that was always on my list of potential spots to land...though I've only spent time in Manhattan, something about it spoke to me.

    Thanks, as always, for the edits, James. It was tough to leave Boozer out, especially after his monstrous game last night!
