A lifelong Michigander, survivor of the 2003 Detroit Tigers season, Concordia University Chicago journalism graduate, and general baseball fanatic, I've been around the game for most of my life, whether playing for summer, school, or rec league teams, or just watching on TV or from the stands. Outside of baseball and writing you can find me attempting to exercise, attending concerts, or curating an ever-growing and possibly far too large collection of vinyl records.
