About

I have been an NFL Gameday Correspondent for Bleacher Report since September of 2012 and also spend time writing assorted NHL, MLB and college football articles here at B/R.

Sports writing is a serious passion of mine and writing in the online capacity is what intrigues me most. Perhaps that is why I chose online journalism as my major at Central Michigan University. Aside from Bleacher Report I have also spent time writing for Technorati and years ago I was the sports editor of my high school paper, "The Zebra Print."

B/R is still fighting a certain stigma and reputation in some circles, but there are some great talents here and I am excited to be a part of this team as it continues to grow, expand and prosper.

I love to engage in discussion in the comments section, so please feel free to give your opinions on my writing, good or bad. All I ask is that you explain why you feel the way you do so that we can enter into an educated dialogue. In other words, don't be a troll.

If I still have your interest, you can follow me at a couple places other than here at B/R. I occasionally find the time to update my blog, Twitter and Facebook, so check them out at your leisure.

    Colin Kaepernick "It's his relative inexperience that prevents me from putting him on the list" REALLY!!! What experience did Luck and Wilson have? Lets see VS Rogers 263 yards Passing 181 yards rushing, VS Ryan 233 yards Passing, VS Flacco 302 yards Passing, VS Brees 231 yards Passing, VS Brady 221 yards Passing, VS Wilson 244 yards Passing the only game he lost to was Wilson. Luck was one and Done. Ben and Eli didn't even make the Playoffs and all Kaepernick gets is a honorable mention. Colin Kaepernick 76.8 regular season QBR #3 and Postseason #2 with a 86.5 QBR .01 behind Ryan and all he gets is a honorable mentions you are CRAZY!! Look for yourself. http://espn.go.com/nfl/qbr GET IT RIGHT!!!
