About

I am a sophomore at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York where I am currently enrolled in the Gabelli School of Business. I also was a 2010 graduate of Chaminade High School on Long Island.

I have always been a sports fan, growing up being a Jets, Rangers, and Knicks fan. I was formerly a Yankee fan but, since I was born in 1992, I have never experience losing in that franchise and to me, you have to endure losing before you can celebrate winning. Losing makes winning that much more satisfying. Don't get me wrong, I love baseball and can talk about any team, but I don't call myself a fan of any one baseball team. On September 6th, 2011, I consummated my marriage to the New York Mets after four years of thinking whether to convert New York teams. I feel good about my decision

Recently, I have taken to soccer and I root for Tottenham of the English Premier League. I am also a supporter of the United States Men's and Women's National Teams.

I have been honored to write for Bleacher Report. I mainly write about the NHL, but I occasionally write articles regarding other sports. My dad told me to start a blog and I loved it as soon as I started. I have a passion for writing about sports and I try to show that passion in my articles.

I am starting an internship at B/R in the fall and I am looking forward to using this internship to enhance my writing and make more of a contribution to B/R. I am truly grateful to them for letting me write on this site.

Follow me on Twitter and if you would like to start a sports conversation, I am willing to at any time.

    If you are interested in a fantasy hockey league I need a few more owners in an established yahoo league. It's the 7th year for my H2H points based league. Live draft is tomorrow night at 7:30. All of the owners are active all season. League ID is 34284 password is 1. I look forward to seeing you.

    Just read your profile. I am a Yankees and was wondering. You never experience the 2004 AL Championship Series? Nothing taught me about loosing more than that.

    Hey Robert, I want to apologize for the language I left on your article. You're right, it's not cool. Didn't mean any disrespect.

    Robert... in regards to the fool writing on my article. He is most obviously confusing things in his own mind and perhaps there is no point in trying to argue with him. To me he is making no sense at all.
