I'm 32 yrs old from SC and married with 2 kids.

I'm the Social Media Czar and an Editor at Cat Scratch Reader - the official SB Nation site of the Carolina Panthers - which means I manage the CSR Social Media accounts and sometimes write stuff about football (Panthers football mostly, but you probably guessed that).

To go along with my social media and editorial duties, I'm also a co-host for CSR Radio - the audio satellite of Cat Scratch Reader - every Tuesday night. (Well, by co-host I mean that I say a lot of stuff. It's mostly nonsense, but it's good nonsense.)

I enjoy watching sports on tv, watching movies, reading books and stuff, and writing about the Panthers. I also like hanging out on the Twitter, so if you like hanging out on the Twitter too, then you can follow me @bdubsmitty and I might Twitter you every now and then.

Even though my avatar might tell you a different story, I'm really not an angry dude with spiky blond hair who screams all the time. And while I do wear glasses, mine don't look like those.
