I’m a content specialist with DraftKings, which means I wear a lot of different hats. Sports betting, Daily Fantasy Sports, Reignmakers — you name it, I’m involved in some capacity (and in various mediums).
Previously, I covered the Celtics for WEEI.com and was the managing editor of USA TODAY SMG’s Nets Wire. I also helped EEI with it’s coverage of the Red Sox, having reported on them and Patriots since 2015 and 2014, respectively. I’ve written about sports in a lot of other places.
When it comes to broadcasting, before joining DraftKings, I was a frequent guest on WPRI/Fox Providence from February 2016 to September 2019. I’ve also done radio work since 2017, having been featured on 1480 WSAR, WPRO and WEEI.
As much as I love writing about and talking about sports, I love to branch out. That’s why I review comic books for Geeks WorldWide, and previously contributed to ScreenRant and CBR. Of course, I have a couple entertainment podcasts: Change My Mind, which is mainly focused around superhero movies and shows, and TLDR, which is all about comic books.
Prior to writing about sports, I played them. While studying journalism at Northwestern University from 2010-2014, I was a pitcher for the varsity baseball team. I have three moments from my playing days that I’ll never forget: the first time I broke 90 MPH, getting to pitch in the Cape Cod League for the Falmouth Commodores and beating Michigan in my lone appearance against them. (For whatever it’s worth, I played basketball and soccer in high school, too.)
