About

I am extremely excited to be a Featured Columnist at Bleacher Report covering the Washington Nationals and the Washington Capitals.
I am a lifelong, passionate, knowledgeable sports fan who loves to write about my passion. I especially love to discuss the personal impact of sports in my life and the lives of other fanatical sports fans.
I began my sports writing journey in May 2010 when I created my own sports blog. I used the blog to convey and express my love of sports, and it also helped me hone my craft. I was able to use my blog writing to gain acceptance at Bleacher Report in April of 2012.
And now the journey has just begun.
Take a look at the articles I've written so far, and leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

    Thanks for liking my article Robert. We are obviously on the same page on this one my friend.

    It is pretty funny how alike we think sometimes. We are both comparing Erat to Semin, especially playoff production. And I swear I did not read your article until after I published mine. If we are both thinking the same way, then that trade had to really suck LOL.

    WTF indeed.

    Cheers on owning that troll on your Nov.14th NHL Lockout article. Not often I (a Pens fan) give a Caps fan their due, but good job.

    Thanks buddy! I start the B/R Sports Writing Internship tomorrow. I'm signed up to cover NHL so I hope I get some Caps assignments! Good work getting first place for the month but don't get used to it ;)

    And I shall definitely continue rocking the bowtie!

    Thanks man, always easy to beat blatant stupidity with a little bit of logic. First rule of the internet: Don't feed the trolls.

    What is up with your football team? Releasing Chris Cooley, don't know about that. He seemed like the heart of your team.
