About

Born and raised on the mean streets of the suburbs of Cincinnati Ohio. Forever a Buckeyes, Reds and Bengals fan, but after living in Phoenix and Orange County California, I also follow the Suns, Angels and Ducks.

I graduated from Chapman University in Orange County in 2006 with a BA in English and emphasis in journalism. I toiled in the news, sports and opinions departments on the campus newspaper, "The Panther" for three years. I also freelanced for the Orange County Register's sports department, covering high school football games for three years.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

    To commemorate the day I handed out some special Valentine's to some deserving recipients. (My first attempt at humor.)

    Hope you enjoy it!

    Hey Ryan,

    Are you interested in contributing to any "round table" articles about the Angels this season?

    Hey Ryan, thanks for picking my article as a favorite. I'm glad you liked it. It was a good game between our teams and depending on who stays around, both teams should be good next year.

    Also noticed you're a Reds fan. I grew up in Houston but was a huge Pete Rose and Big Red Machine fan. While living in KY, I went to many, many, many Reds games. Love the park!

    I am doing a PSU vs. OSU with Kristofer already, in the format of the Creature vs. Creature that Justin and David used for the LSU vs. UF game. Maybe I can do something else with you, but right now I am not sure.
