I am a lifelong Broncos fan who grew up in Norwich, CT, spent a lot of time in Jacksonville, FL, and now lives in the Cleveland, OH area.
Since joining the MHR staff, I have been tending toward writing regular, recurring columns, since structure and repetition serve me well. This offseason, I had a new idea for a column called Shallow Thoughts & Nearsighted Observations. I plan to continue writing it year-round, as I found my voice with it. Note that I am 100% an analyst, and make no claim to be a journalist.
Things I am known to talk about include offensive X's and O's, (especially the passing game,) finance, the business environment, pro and college personnel, and analysis of the 31 other NFL teams. I'm sort of the around-the-league guy.
