Jeff's Bio

Ask anyone who knows me what they think of first when they hear my name and they will most likely say Manchester United. I am a die-hard supporter and consider it a true joy to write articles about the world's most popular club or of anything else related to sports for that matter.

I'm an American hailing from Illinois but I was born and lived most of my life in Kenya. I consider it to be my second home and I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't grown up there. I wouldn't trade the experiences, the insights and any of the memories I gained from living in Africa for anything. The English Premier League has a large fan support in Africa and it was an absolutely fantastic experience being in the middle of it. If I had one wish, it would be for soccer to be as big in the US as it is everywhere else in the world. Hopefully I have a long time left to live, however, and maybe, just maybe, will one day be able to see my wish come true. In the meantime, I will be using my journalism skills to the best of my ability in order to see this happen.

I've been at Bleacher Report for eight wonderful months and made my way up the ladder to become a Co-Community Leader for Manchester United alongside Salaar Shamsi. But after 100 articles I decided to call an end to my time here on Bleacher Report. During my time here I made it a priority to publish top notch articles and help everyone do the same. I sought to improve my journalism skills and play my part in helping Bleacher Report grow and prosper even further.

I would like to express my gratitude to Zander Freund, B/R's Community Director, for all the help he was to me since I joined and all the work he puts into making this Website what it is.

Now that my time here on Bleacher Report has come to an end I will most likely not be checking my profile page for posts any longer. So if you wish to contact me for any reason you can do so at jeff_from_kenya@yahoo.com

All the best,
Jeff
