Ari's Bio

Detroiter born and raised, fan of all Detroit sports. Attending Wayne State University for a degree in broadcast journalism, with hopes to be in sports.

Best B/R moment is when I got an e-mail telling me FOX sports has published my article on their website.

I felt you might want to take a look at one of my latest articles about Roger Federer’s amazing streak of 22 consecutive Grand Slam semifinals appearances. Feel free to comment and discuss your thoughts on the issue.
