Growing up in San Diego, a privilege to say the least, I found myself embedded in and around the water and artistic culture of surfing. The ocean is where I found most of my time spent. My get away. My home away from home if you will. Accompanied alongside the ocean, came the competitive streak of baseball and football. Playing it all, until it was time to hang up the uniform. The drive and progression instilled into me were attributes that were not going to be put to waste. I found my talents in the realm of sports writing. I shifted my mindset to working outside the lines, and started to develop as a sports writer. Today, I reside in Tucson, AZ where I am a double major in Communications and Journalism at the helm of the University of Arizona. I am here now, because I have been given the opportunity of a lifetime; to be a featured contributor for this profound website. A place where I will utilize my writing skills and develop into a respected sports writer and help propel my passion into a possible career. Enjoy.
