About Erik »

My bulletin board is an open forum. Anything you post will get edited and will get a comment.

I graduated in 2008 with a BA in English from the University of Southern Maine. I've been a New England Patriots fan since I was eight years old (silly me, thought I was six). My love of sports writing stems from a deep passion for college and pro sports and my appreciation for the English language.

I enjoy writing about the NFL, and obviously the New England Patriots; I like to branch out and explore every team in the league, though.

I enjoy scrambling all over the site, reading everything that pops up on my screen and making my voice heard on the matter. Although the site says I've been a member for about a year, I have only begun contributing to the site as of about two months ago. I'm currently ranked the 7th overall Patriots writer on the site; it's not the highest honor that I hope to achieve, but it's better than nothing.

I am, however, honored to say that I'm an editing intern here at B/R. I welcome you to post any articles on my bulletin board that you would like me to check over for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and conformity with B/R style guidelines. The gig has truly been informative, opening up a whole new world for me in terms of my opportunities to further myself as both an editor and a writer.

I hope to one day work for a distinguished blog, or possibly start my own website. My dream job at the moment is to work for ESPN (perhaps get espnboston.com started?)
