Hello! Sports have always been a passion of mine and I'm so glad that I get to blog about it here on this very internet! My main fortes are baseball, basketball, football, the Olympics, Nascar, and a few others. I've written for several other sites in the past (ever since 2010) and have even done some radio-related blogging and vlogging in the past. So glad that my sports-following and writing journey has brought me to Section 215! Met a lot of cool people along the way and intend to meet and talk to even more!
