Biography
Grinded my way through journalism industry by freelancing preps in my hometown of Naperville, Ill. since my graduation from Michigan State in 2005. Covered football, boys' basketball and baseball for over a decade for the Naperville Sun before joining ESPN as part-time college writer in March 2022. Cerebral palsy may mold me, but I'm doing my best to not allow it to define my professional career.
National college football recruiting, the Big Ten
EDM, listicles in gif form, gossip.
