About

I'm the Content Management Coordinator for Bleacher Report, working out of the San Francisco office, having previously held positions as Associate Deputy TNT Editor (Breaking News) and TNT Assignment Editor. My Bleacher Report journey began on my couch in summer of 2010, when I spent time toiling away as one of the original writers ever hired by the site--writing about something called "The Decision".

I grew up in Iowa, received every possible level of education in Iowa City aside from grad school, racking up about $800k in student loans and becoming immersed in all things Hawkeyes. As a northern Wisconsin native, I am also an enormous Packer fan and someday hope to actually use the season tickets my family has finely secured. And, in an ironic twist, I am also a Bears fan unless they are playing the Packers...and cheer for the Bulls, Blackhawks and the poor, pathetic Cubs.

Someday, I imagine I will get tired of eating, sleeping and worrying about what happens in sports. Until that day, I wake up feeling very lucky to be where I am--living my dream.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss writing. Here are two of my favorite articles from the golden days as a mediocre scribe:

    Thanks for the support on the Saigon Heat piece Elliott. They weren't the 1990's Bulls, but it's a start for the region.

    Elliott, thank you so much for gracing me with your fan-dom! Especially considering my hometown is Detroit...truth is, though, once Jordan broke through our Detroit gauntlet (we conceitedly called it "the Jordan Rules") in the early '90s, you guys have beaten us at pretty much everything, including a more recent Stanley Cup. And my all-time favorite football team is the '85 Bears. I've never seen anything like them.

    Happy holidays to you and yours!
