I work at the Mobile Press-Register, one of the biggest newspapers in the South, as a sports copy editor. I work on page design and edit copy, and I have a writing background from previous jobs. I'm a graduate of Jacksonville State University.

There's that life, then there's my other life as a sports fan. I have partial season tickets to the Braves, and am a huge fan of Atlanta sports teams. That's something my dad gave me. I saw the Hawks take down the Celtics in Game 3 of their opening-round playoff series in 2008. Best experience I've had at a sporting event.

My favorite memory from my childhood was when the Braves won the 1992 NLCS. When Sid Bream slid across home plate on Francisco Cabrera's Game 7 single in the 9th to send Atlanta to its second World Series in a row, my dad picked me up and swung me around, both of us yelling as loud as we could. From then on, sports have been my escape.

Cheers.
