About

I eat, sleep, and breathe Detroit sports. There's no other way to put it. For someone with no direct connection to the Detroit area, the dedication runs deep. I have been a die hard Red Wings, Lions, Tigers, and Pistons fan almost all my life.

When I am not watching, reading, or thinking about the Detroit sports scene, I am a second year law student at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, although I spend my summers at home in St. John's, Newfoundland. I enjoy reading, music (mainly Velvet Revolver), and spending time with my beautiful fiancée, Laurie.

My plan is to replace my professional idol, Ken Holland, as General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings some day, hopefully after he's won many more Stanley Cups!

    Hey Dan,

    I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.

    Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

    Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Dan!
