Writer bio
Hi,
I'm a teenage sports fan looking to be able to put my rankings and predictions on a respectable online website so the world can see them. I currently live in Raleigh, North Carolina.
My favorite NFL team is the Carolina Panthers, and I also tend to cheer for the Vikings, Patriots, Jaguars, and some others. In the NHL I like the Carolina Hurricanes as well as the Sharks and Islanders. Favorite MLB team is the Red Sox, I also like the Twins and Reds. In college football, I like a lot of teams but my favorites are the UNC Tar Heels, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, Missouri Tigers, Texas Tech Red Raiders, TCU Horned Frogs, and Oregon Ducks. Personally, I'm not too interested in NBA, College Basketball, or NASCAR.
If you have any questions, comments, or things you want to tell me and y...

I started playing hockey at the age of 10 in Peoria, Illinois. In 1997 I was a founding member of the Capistrano Valley High School Roller Hockey team and went on to captain the Interscholastic In-Line Federation Orange County Varsity-A Championship team as a Senior in 2001. Picking up there, I co-founded the Chapman University Roller Hockey team in the Fall of '01 and was an assistant captain on the 2005 National Collegiate Roller Hockey Association Elite Eight Finalist at the National Collegiate Tournament in Fort Collins, CO.
Since then I work for Fox Sports and Fox Sports Net on various sports based programs. I have been an avid Los Angeles Kings fan since the early 1990's. I have played fantasy sports since 2001.

Writer bio
Born and raised in the greatest city on Earth - or the centre of the hockey universe, whichever you prefer - I'm a Leafs fan. However, I'll admit I'm not a typical Leafs fan. I never boo my team, I stay ON the wagon no matter what, and I make intelligent points about their play - both good and bad. I'm a hockey fan, true and true.
Currently finishing up school, I don't have an abundance of time to contribute as much as I would like. Whenever I get a few moments, I'll be sure to share what I can.
