About

Hi everyone! I am a recent graduate from the University of New Hampshire in Durham NH with a degree in English Literature and Psychology. I started writing for B/R about a month before graduation and about a month later became a Liverpool FC Featured Columnist.

I bleed Liverpool Red; my first experience with the club was watching the 2005 Champions League final. It was one of the most breathtaking moments in sports I have ever witnessed and I still get goosebumps every time I watch highlights. I've loved the club ever since.

I really enjoy writing; completely un-sports related, I'm working on a memoir to my grandfather, who recently passed away, as a sort of memorial to one of the most influential people in my life.

I'm a born-and-bred New Englander, so I'm obliged to support all New England teams, and do so heartily.

You can follow me on Twitter at @TylerHixson16, but be nice. Twitter scares me a little.
