About

I grew up in New York and can remember going to Yankee Stadium when there were still games that had half empty stands. However, I didn't mind seeing the Yankees win too. I attended the World Series parades in '96 and '98.

Now I'm a several times displaced Yankees fan. I spent several years in Chicago, anxiously waiting for the Yankees to come to town to play the White Sox. I'm currently living near Tampa, a short drive from Legends Field.

In college I was the Sports Editor on the campus newspaper. I've been doing other writing since then, but have rediscovered the joy of writing about sports, especially the Yankees.
