About

I'm a recent graduate of Aurora University, where I obtained my Bachelor's in Communications. My education was focused on journalism as becoming a sports journalist/broadcaster has been a dream of mine since I was young.

I currently reside in Illinois just outside of Chicago, but don't call me a Bears or Cubs fan please. I have played baseball and football in both high school and college. I also participate in MMA at an amateur level at the moment.

You can find my work throughout the B/R site and also now at http://themmacorner.com/.

    Hey, man. Just a heads up—It's good to check the news doc before submitting new pieces to make sure someone isn't already handling it. Matt Roth posted an article covering the Bisping injury shortly before you posted yours and he signed up for it in the doc.

    If you don't have access to the news doc, shoot Trent and e-mail and he'll hook you up.
