Born and raised in Indianapolis, I grew up believing that the racing world centered around 16th and Georgetown. Attending my first Indianapolis 500 in 1993, promptly booed Emerson Fittipaldi for drinking orange juice in Victory Lane and was hooked.

Between the Indy 500, Chicago Cubs baseball, and the Indianapolis Colts, I'm fairly content sports-wise.

During four years at Boston College it was, I watched us beat Notre Dame in just about everything and got to run in the streets when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004.

I stumbled into a job in sports, working in sports information. When I'm not writing press releases and recaps, I can be found coaching high school baseball and writing for SB Nation Indiana, along with my IndyCar blog, DriveHardTurnLeft.com.

If you're so inclined, you can follow me on twitter at @wcp3.
