JJ's Bio

Hey, I'm JJ—but you knew that when you clicked on my profile.

I'm a journalism student in the "land of too many journalists"—also known as the University of Missouri in beautiful Columbia, MO. Fight Tigers!

I cover the White Sox for Examiner.com (link below). Check out that site for a full archive of all my stuff.
