About

A recent graduate from Boston University in May 2012 where I majored in History and English, sports (as can be said for many at Bleacher Report) have been an essential part of my life and will remain a huge part of my future. Currently an editor at B/R, my writing has appeared at The Classical, The Celebrity Cafe and Sportsrageous.com. I blog on my own at www.ballgamebanter.com and just have genuine good fun on my Tumblr (alexskillin.tumblr.com). I also tweet sporadically (but mostly about sports) at @AlexSkillin. Feel free to contact me for any reason; I'm a Bostonian, but I'm one of the friendly ones.
