Baseball has long been my biggest passion, as I've been fascinated with the tactics behind roster construction and have poured through box scores for as long as I can recall. Now, writing about the game I love has become what I aspire to make my full time career. I first joined the FanSided Network in October 2011 and have since published more than 600 articles at a variety of our sites. As the Editorial Director for FanSided MLB, I'm responsible for overseeing and directing each of our 32 MLB-focused sites.
I live outside of Boston, Massachusetts with my wonderfully understanding wife and daughter.
