I've been working at the Journal-World since February 2008 as a sports copy editor. I also keep the Conference Chatter blog on KUSports.com.
My previous jobs were sports editor of The Mirror in Tonganoxie, part-time sports writer for the Journal-World and sports editor of the University Daily Kansan. I graduated from the William Allen White School of Journalism in 2006.
The Texas state flag in my room is sort of a giveaway of where I grew up. Plano is my hometown and I enjoy watching the Texas Rangers and Dallas Mavericks. I've also previously lived in Coral Springs, Fla. and Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
I'm still not convinced the Big 12 is the best football conference, but I'm also convinced it won't be long until it is. I think the worst sports argument ever is that the best college football team could beat the worst NFL squad. My favorite sports movie of all-time is Bull Durham. Favorite movie of all-time is Back to the Future.
I consider my parents and my brother David as the most important parts of my life.
In my spare time, I like to watch the Texas Rangers online, shoot threes in Journal-World pick-up games and listen to music. Some of my favorite bands include Fair to Midland, Metallica, Sevendust, Avenged Sevenfold and AFI.
You can follow me on Twitter, where I'm updating my page with blogs, podcasts, features and more on the Big 12.
