Derek's Bio
Athletic History: Sports is my way of life. Ever since I was little I was either kicking a soccer ball, swimming in the ocean or dribbling a basketball. My sophomore year of high school I started playing tennis and by my senior year I was co-captain of the tennis team. After my senior year I pretty much stopped playing tennis and went to community college for two years where I shifted over to basketball since there was pretty much nothing to do. But I loved it and got to tour the Basketball Hall of Fame which is a must see.
Personal: I am currently a Junior/Senior at the University of Arizona majoring in Journalism and minoring in Criminal Justice Adminstration. I finished up an internship with Fox out in Tucson, Arizona back in June but will becoming back in August for a Production internship. I am originally born and raised in Sparta, New Jersey where I lived for over 21 years.

Thanks for the add, Derek. And don't listen to Greg below. He's been wearing Depends every Thursday morning for a month now, "just in case"... ;)

Thanks for the add, Derek. And FYI, I survived the Thursday morning MMA scare. Maybe just a trickle, but nothing two pairs of shorts couldn't handle!

i messed around with it, but I honestly have no idea, it looks fine when editing, but then changes when I view the article on its main page. I'll see if I can get someone to help me out and I will keep at it.
