Born and raised in the Twin Cities I moved to Kansas City after graduating from Creighton University with a degree in English. I'm married to a wonderful woman and we have 2 young boys. Baseball is, and has always been, my #1 passion. I have been a part of FanSided since February '09 and currently hold the position of Senior Director, Data Analysis within the network. These days my writing is dedicated to Grading on the Curve, but I have also published content on Kings of Kauffman, Puckett's Pond, Call to the Pen and KC Kingdom.
