Who am I?
“Bottom line is this: You’ve got a writer, and that’s what matters.” - The late author Terry Kay’s note to my grandmother on my writing.

Why should you care?
This is both important and weird for me to have to answer, but it is also something I should be able to answer if I want you, the reader, to want to read more and keep up with me.
You haven’t read me at ESPN, The Ringer, CBS Sports, the Knoxville Sentinel, or the New York Times, but maybe you have listened to my podcast and liked what you heard? If that’s you, or you just happened to stumble upon this page, I hope my lack of reps in larger publications doesn’t give you pause.
I grew up racing to the driveway to check college football scores and read sports pieces early on Saturday mornings in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I grew up around elite high school football in the south in the Parkview school cluster. I memorized everything there was to know, or so I thought, about sports from seven years old all the way to the University of Georgia’s journalism camp where a fellow camper referred to me as a “walking sports encyclopedia”, but not in a good way I later learned. I struggle to exist without a firm handle across all major sports. Whether it’s Friday Night Lights in Georgia or the Los Angeles Lakers, I stay on top of it all. I have to. It’s all I know.
This.
This thing.
This writing thing.
This is all I've ever wanted to do. Write professionally. I’m both too old to dream and too young to quit. I can’t imagine chasing anything else. I wouldn’t be happy doing anything else. Writing makes me happy. Typing on this keyboard on a blank canvas makes me happy.
On this page, I promise you I will write often and I will do my damndest to write well.
