About

17 years old from New Jersey. Currently in my Senior year of High School and plan on attending college with the intent to earn a degree in Journalism. I've been here on B/R for a while now, one a few vets still in the MMA section and I plan on staying here for as long as I possibly can.

Thanks to B/R I've been lucky enough to have articles published on CBSSports.com and SI.com as well as being able to attend Strikeforce: Carano VS Cyborg with press credentials.

My SI article on Nick Diaz and Jake Shields
