Joined: Nov 27, 2013

I am a former therapist and current English and rhetoric professor. I have both a Masters degree in English and an MFA and was the 2006 Feature Writer of the Year in Minnesota. I love to write about the NFL and NBA drafts, especially, but I will have an opinion on all sports. You will gather from my columns that I am very analytical and have little tolerance for the status quo. My predictions are bold and sometimes beyond comprehension, but if it spurs a discourse while staying relevant, it has done its job. I beg you to contact me with questions or complaints and I promise to respond with an apology and a challenge. I issue a fair share of apologies.
