An Indiana native, I grew up a rapid sports fan who knew for years I wanted to write about it for a living. After graduating from the IU School of Journalism and a series of post-grad internships, I began my Gannett career in southern California, covering high school sports at The Desert Sun for three years where I would meet my wife, Daniela. Since, we’ve both moved to New Jersey, followed by a 10-month stint for me covering a variety of sports news in New Orleans before ending up back where it all began.
