I'm a graduate of Wake Forest University with an English degree, minor in Journalism. I wrote for the school's paper the Old Gold and Black the whole time I was at school, covering every sport from Cross Country to Golf, but senior year I had the privilege of following the football and basketball teams.
I run the Wake site Blogger So Dear, but I also write on the regional SB Nation Cleveland site as well.
