I'm the managing editor of SB Nation Houston, and I hold the same position on SB Nation's Rockets blog, The Dream Shake. In my spare time, I'm a journalism major at the University of Missouri with an unhealthy passion for Houston sports. If the Astros (somehow) sweep the Cardinals, I lose most of my friends for about a week.
E-mail me with any questions you might have, whether it's about Houston sports or about the Rockets specifically. And, if you're confused or simply wish to be enlightened, I will gladly accept questions concerning the life story Gordon Bombay as well. That's why I'm here.

"What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen.
And he'll get all the great women."
