Since 2022, I have been a Contributor for FanSided. My first site has been NinerNoise (SF 49ers). I joined 8Points9Seconds (Indiana Pacers) in 2023 and a year later joined The View from Avalone (LA Galaxy). I also spent two seasons with The Tampa Bay Times covering High School Football in the Bay Area (FL). In addition, I am a two-time published author. Furthermore, after 11 years and the pandemic, I retired from coaching Girls' Volleyball (ages 5-18). I still play the sport in addition to soccer, kickball, softball, basketball and train in MMA (when I can). "A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charlie Chaplin
