Biography
I am a part-time blogger currently writing for SB Nation's Tampa Bay Rays blog (DRaysBay). I am looking to branch out into more areas and topics with my writing. In addition to baseball, I am interested in most all team sports, Christianity and religion, progressive politics, LGBTQ+ issues, mental health, and sexual abuse/me too stories. Additionally, with roots in both Southeast Pennsylvania and West Central Florida, I am interested in stories that impact these locales.

The Rays hold the second wild card spot, half a game behind Toronto and a game and a half up on Seattle. The final home stand of the season continues tonight with the first of three against the Astros, followed by four against the Blue Jays starting on Thursday.
