About

I am a graduate of the Journalism: Print & Broadcast program at Canadore College in North Bay, ON and am a graduate of BleacherReport's Summer Internship program for the summer of 2011.. I specialize in the NFL (mostly the Patriots), the NHL, WWE and MMA. I am told to be an excellent researcher and have a base knowledge of most sports that I feel gives me an edge in the sports journalism world.

I am originally from Timmins, ON (not Timmons, ON, as some sports writers insist on calling it when referring to the hometown of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Steve Sullivan)., I have been following and competing in sports all my life, most notably as part of my high school (O'Gorman High School), I competed and hosted the OFSAA "A" Boys Soccer Championships in 2006.

Follow me on Twitter (@NEPats17) and feel free to become a fan of mine on this very website.

I am open to constructive criticism and welcome any help or advice you may have to offer because knowledge is power!

I am currently the Colour Commentator for the North Bay Jr. "A" Trappers of the NOJHL. You can see me live every North Bay home game on fasthockey.com along with my broadcast colleague and fellow Toronto Maple Leafs Featured Columnist Matthew Sookram.

    Holy that sounds pretty sweet, i guess you're getting connected haha. offseason Leafs stuff eh? As long as your not all "we need Rick Nash" on me then im looking foreward to it haha. The Leafs don't need another overpaid winger....unless by some miracle they could get rid of Connolly, Lombardi, Komisarek and Armstong all at the same time hahaha. If that was the case I would greet Nash with open arms.

    The patriots pushed Mark Sanchez and deion branch screamed at the sideline's face with Rex Ryan there. You are talking about changing rules the jets nothing on the field compare to what new england did. They where classless,The jets backed up there trash talk and new england did nothing.
