About Me
Think about the last piece of content you read online. Did it grip you? Did it teach you anything useful about yourself or the world around you? Were you entertained? Were you distracted by the dry tone and numerous typos?
​
My passion is to publish clean and compelling content everyday. Whether you're interested in sports, entertainment, news, or a niche curiosity, I can write about it, and write about it well. My love for sports and culture - particuarly my New York Knicks - is only dwarfed by my love of writing.
​
Find a voice, find your future - I am that voice.
