About Tim »

In 2003, I worked as an NBC field reporter for about five months. I left because of ethical differences...I felt like I was selling my soul. I am a 27 year-old aspiring screenwriter who just happens to be a sports fanatic, particularly when it comes to the Minnesota Vikings. I grew up in the Midwest but live in Los Angeles so besides an occasional fantasy football owner, I am usually cheering alone when AP breaks free.
