Hello readers, I am Jacob Born. I was born (no pun intended here or anywhere else that may come up) and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. The Blues and Cardinals hold special places in my heart that will never be replaced, especially that of the Blues. I have played many sports throughout my grade school and high school years (My favorite being ice hockey). 15+ years of playing has started and fueled my passion for sports which has lead me to where I am today.

I am currently a freshman at Marquette University studying Journalism, with a potential double major in Sports Management or Sports Psychology, and I am a brother of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

I have been published on the Marquette Journal's blog, and will be working as a Breaking News Reporter and Copy Editor for the Marquette Tribune next year. I also created a sports blog with fellow Bleacher Report writers Ryan Bothmann and Andrew Hermann before jumping ship to Bleacher Report.

My life goal is to be writing for the NHL. Hockey has always been the center of my life and I wish to continue to have the passion I had for playing show in my writing.
