"The difference between sports and movies is the good guy doesn't always win in sports. Just because you deserve something, doesn't mean the other team's gonna give it to you. You have to take what's yours."

Being born in Indiana, I had a first hand experience to why everyone loves basketball. I've probably seen Hoosiers, the greatest movie ever, so many times that I say every line at the same time as the actors do. And, although basketball is my passion, I follow football, soccer and baseball too.

I'm a fan of the Cincinnati Reds, Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Pacers, Indiana University, and Notre Dame.

Writing is definitely something I've done for as long as I can remember. I'm always looking for more opportunities to do so, and share it.

I've had work with Sportshaze.com , Yahoo!, and a couple others covering basketball and recruiting.
