Currently a Junior at Fresno State University. I have been a passionate sports fan since I was young. As a freshman at Sanger High School in Sanger, California I discovered that I have a passion for writing and that combining my passions would be a rewarding decision. Writing about sports is something that I enjoy doing and is something I like to do in my free time. My favorite sports to write about are Basketball and Football, mainly Professional though. Some of my biggest influences in the sports media are Michael Wilbon, Charles Barkley, and the writing styles featured in Magazines such as SLAM and Dime. I one day hope to have a job as a professional sports writer and have a job that I both enjoy and am passionate about. After all thats all anyone can ask for. I am a pretty humble and talkative person who isn't afraid to state my opinion, which can be seen in my writing.
