About

This started off as an outlet for my writing. As with most things in life I wasn't sure where it would take me. I dabbled in journalism in college and was looking for somewhere to write more after college. I applied to B/R and after a few months of late night writing, I've become a Featured Columnist for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I'm a huge basketball and baseball fan. The Timberwolves are my passion. I'm also a big Twins fan and the Nationals are growing on me ever since moving out to the east coast.

I love comparing Sports and Pop Culture. I'm always up for article collaborations or brainstorming ideas.

    Hey, would you be able to send your e mail to klangan@omnipossible.com? I want to get the B/R community leaders on a mailing list for a press release on behalf of Sports Media 101.

    Thanks
