I am a 25-year-old journalist and Mets fan living in England. I am obsessed with baseball and statistics and I am set for another season of sleepless nights in front of the computer. I love box scores, travelling, writing, skiing and bacon, but not necessarily in that order. I studied for my BA (hons) in journalism at the University of Central Lancashire in England and at SUNY Plattsburgh in upstate New York. For the last three years I have been a journalist at a weekly newspaper. I was highly commended in the Young Journalist of the Year category at the 2009 Yorkshire and Humber o2 Press Awards and I was shortlisted to the final five of the Yorkshire Press Awards in the features category. I am also a freelance for Sky Sports (www.skysports.com) writing live minute-by-minute English Premier League football commentaries.
