I grew up an NBA fan in the Phoenix metro area, loving the Phoenix Suns. After a brief stay in southern California, I am back in the valley of the sun. I love the NBA and college football, specifically the Pac-12. Growing up I attended plenty of Sun Devil games, and have seen the highs and lows of that program(Pac-12 clinching win against Cal in 1996, horrific 35-7 loss to New Mexico State). I have written for FootballNation.com, HoopsHabit.com, and am the former editor of the Charlotte Hornets site SwarmAndSting.com. I currently write for SaturdayBlitz.com, covering west coast football.
