About Paul »

I am Paul Delos Santos. I was born in Las Vegas, Nev., but spent a majority of my early childhood in San Francisco. I returned to Las Vegas for high school and college, and there I discovered my love for sports writing. Storytelling is one of my favorite hobbies, and I discovered that writing about sports was my favorite story to tell. Stories of success. Stories of failure. They're all great to tell.

I graduated from UNLV in December 2007 with a degree in journalism and media studies, and got a job in Cedar City, Utah. Despite being a mere 180 miles away from my hometown, I still follow the Mountain West with a passion. I'm also a fan of mixed martial arts and all college athletics. However, I have my spot for the Mountain West, as I feel that with every big win in football or basketball, the conference moves closer to being a power conference.

I hope you enjoy my articles posted on here.
