I was even married at an Arizona Diamondbacks game. I grew up on sports and got my love for football from my father, who played college ball at Northwestern University. I have a degree in journalism from the University of Arizona.

I love to interact with readers, so if there’s anything you want to ask me, don’t hesitate to email me, comment on one of my articles or send me a message on Twitter.
