About

I began working as a freelance copy editor for Bleacher Report in September 2010, and I write a bit for the site, though I wish I had more time to submit more articles.

I'm a 1992 journalism/political science graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst who has lived in the Bay State virtually all my life. I was lucky to spend 17 years full time in daily newspaper sports journalism before voluntarily taking a buyout to spend more time with my family and explore new options in the field.

Currently I am a freelance sports writer for several GateHouse Media New England dailies and weeklies south of Boston.

From 2000 to 2009, I was the high school sports coordinator at The Patriot Ledger, where my staff and I won several awards. I have extensive experience in copy editing and page design that includes being responsible for producing the daily sports section at several newspapers.

Through co-op and intern programs, I have served as a mentor to many college students, many of whom are working professionally in the media. I am a member of the Asian American Journalists Association's New England chapter.

My favorite sports, depending on the season, are soccer (English Premier League), hockey and baseball. I am also a fantasy sports junkie who has won leagues in hockey, baseball and football numerous times.
