About

I hail from the Hoosier state and went to Indiana University. I currently live in South Dakota, married and have a daughter. I hope to work as a sports analyst or play-by-play announcer hopefully soon, but will have a blast for now writing for Bleacher Report.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    No one professionally...

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Cincinnati Reds, Indiana Pacers, Indiana University

  • Favorite Coaches

    Tom Crean

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    The Fight: Pacers vs. Pistons, Christmas Day, I think...the day my Pacers died.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Central Hockey League game: Rapid City Rush vs. Mississippi RiverKings...these players worked and played hard, and they are just like you and me...earning their living.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Most consecutive national championships...no one will ever compare to UCLA and John Wooden.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Willie Mays...what was so special about Babe Ruth?

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Meh...don't care about football in the slightest.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Bill Russell...Jordan is just a selfish pretender.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Bobby Orr...Gretzky had his moments, but not the complete player Orr was.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele...Maradona relied too much on illegal substances.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Meh...don't care either way.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Golf isn't even a real sport. Is Tiger the one with the Frosted Flakes?

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Meh...I don't consider driving around in an oval at high rates of speed a real sport.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Is this horse racing? Have no clue who these people are...

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    I am from Big 10 country and will always be a Big 10 fan...

    Yesterday, we learned of the passing of Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart. At 22, he was one of many great athletes who died too young. Here's a tribute to some of the greatest athletes ever who did the same. I'd appreciate it if you could check this out.
