About

I joined Bleacher Report in February 2010 looking to get back into sports writing. A little over a month later, I accepted the position of Pittsburgh Steelers Featured Columnist.

As a lifelong Pittsburgh sports fan, I have had the opportunity to watch many great athletes and moments, all which peaked in 2009 when the Steelers and Penguins were both crowned champions. While I concentrate on Pittsburgh sports, I also enjoy teams elsewhere, particularly in college football and basketball.
