You’ve heard of the proverbial journeyman quarterback, right? Well I think it’s safe to say I’m something of a journeyman writer. I began covering college football professionals at the ripe old age of 16, and have since broadened my portfolio to all things under the sun. Yes, I have the sometimes unfortunate stigma of being the “junk food reviewer,” but really, my interest in writing about both sports and food stems from my love of telling stories. Whether it be in exploring a new restaurant of culture through food, or paying homage to the hard work and passion of a young athlete devoting his life to a past time for our pleasure, there is nothing more gratifying to me than to be able to take a verbal snapshot of the things that help us move about our days before ending them with a “hey, it’s not so bad.”
