Nick's Bio

Hey everyone. I'm Nick, I'm 20, and I'm a writer here on B/R. I focus mainly on Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Hockey, but I am a total sports nut, and I'll write about baseball, basketball, racing, golf, soccer, boxing, etc... I love it all!!!

I live in Mass. and currently attend Salem State College here in the Northeast. I work as a customer service rep. and I go to school full time. My major is Communications, and my concentration is journalism, so I hope to do something in the Newspaper field, even though many say it's drying up!

I've done a lot as a writer thus far, and I'm currently building on my resume more and more daily. If you have any questions, comments, or tips to help me I'm more than happy to read them and look it over.

Enomine patris et filis et spiritu sante...Invictus.
