I like to write underdog stories, breaking news, and feature stories on athletes and coaches. My second article I wrote was featured on CBS Sports. I have great appreciation for the opportunity that this site has given me to voice my ideas and opinions.

I am an avid Notre Dame Football fan and have been my entire life. Loyal fan of Charlie Weis.
