Hey everyone!
Currently I'm an MBA student and Graduate Assistant for Sports Information at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. I'm an avid sports fan (Cubs, Bears, Hawks, Bulls, Kansas basketball) and I enjoy writing about sports. When I have spare time, I also like to write fiction or poetry. I'm a horror film enthusiast, and can binge-watch any TV show faster than you.
Make a comment on anything and let's get the conversation going!
