After nearly a decade working in the political realm, I decided to switch gears and give this whole writing thing a try. I've been writing for B/R for just over a year and I couldn't be happier with the opportunities that have been afforded to me. The sports world is my first love, but I'm down to write about just about anything that piques my interest. I hope you'll check out my personal blog and follow me on Twitter to learn more about me!

Likes: Football, war movies, vodka, history, mascots, Chevy Camaros, string cheese, Fight Club, ginger ale, Louis C.K., gigantic televisions, ketchup, true crime shows, knee socks, shooting guns, traveling to places, fireworks, Pittsburgh, the Beastie Boys and snow.

Dislikes: Bugs, Dane Cook, math and science, cricket, light beer, cable news, people chewing gum or whistling, mustard, paper cuts, complaining, the Black Eyed Peas, blue cheese, Two and a Half Men, gin, tacos, Dennis Miller, jean shorts, sitting rooms and Ohio.

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    The year was 2009. Steelers Superbowl. Penguins Stanley Cup. A beautiful moment in history.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Besides Pirates games, all of them are memorable.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    The Pittsburgh Pirates current, and record breaking, reign of futility may never be matched. Way to be fellas.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays. Because f the Yankees.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Unitas. Now there's a haircut you can set your watch to. Oh, but Montana is a much better QB.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Both fine men and excellent players, but I pick Sir Charles Barkely. A finer and funnier man, you'd be hard pressed to find.

    Lemieux.

    McEnroe! Come on.

    Tiger and Mickelson. Figjam.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Neither, NASCAR is for hillbillies. No offense.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Is this more NASCAR?

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Big East.. for now! PITT, along with my allegiance, is moving to the ACC in 2014.

    RE: 30 Athlete Instagrams That Were Just a Bad Idea:
    (I hope this message comes across as constructive criticism--that is my intention.)
    While I found your slide selection interesting, I also found a lot of simple errors/typos.
    A few examples:
    21. "So perhaps there's more than means the eye going on—he could just like the letter "W." (the expression should be "more than meets the eye".)
    13. "But something tells me his Instagram followers here (hear) a lot more about his wins.
    Money is going to be his (hit) particularly hard by his inevitable bankruptcy."
    Maybe you have a friend/colleague who could proofread your pieces before they are posted. It would make reading them less jarring as well as enhance your writing reputation.
    Cheers.
