About Me
I may be a Masters student at the University of Florida, but if you call me a Gator, I'll hunt you down quicker than Fred Taylor ever ran.

A lifelong Tampa resident and graduate of Jesuit High School, I received my Bachelor's degree in Mass Media Communications from Florida State University in Spring 2003. While there I honed my skills as a sports reporter and anchor for the campus radio station, WVFS 89.7. I was also a Resident Assistant for two years, but I won't divulge the often comedic horrors I endured on here.

In my spare time I enjoy film, travel, art, and basically anything to keep me occupied during my sentence, er, time here in Gainesville. While my zest for reporting is quickly diminishing, I hope to eventually work in a media related capacity for a professional franchise. Last summer I had the pleasure of working for the 2002 World Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers during their training camp in Celebration, FL. Hopefully I will be able to repeat this experience in the coming months.

Feel free to contact me if you wish, or leave me some feedback.
