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, Tigers, Lions, and Pistons fan for almost all of my life.

When I am not watching, reading, or thinking about the Detroit sports scene, I am an associate at a law firm in my hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I enjoy music, cooking, working out, and spending time with my beautiful girlfriend, Jessica.

    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!
