I have a deep passion for sports and writing so naturally I enjoy blogging about my alma mater. Having grown up in Bloomington and graduated from Indiana University, I bleed Cream and Crimson. I am currently keeping myself busy by writing for fansided, creating adcopy for a local magazine, and volunteering for my community orchard. As far as free time goes, which I don't have a lot of, I like to play rec sports (bball and soccer), enjoy a nice day out on the lake, or get together with some friends. Thank you for visiting our site and I hope that you enjoy our work.
