Breakdown:
23-years-old from Boston, MA residing in Gaithersburg, MD (been in MD a while, unfortunately the Beantown accent isn’t as wicked as it once was… it only comes out after a few brews or if the Sox or Pats are on TV). Having worked at a deli for six years, I sometimes spend too long picking out lunch meat at the deli counter. I’ve worked for CBS 60 Minutes, Westwood One Radio Sports and Comcast SportsNet in Bethesda since graduating from the University of Maryland in 2005. I am a first-degree black belt in two martial arts styles, having studied them since I was six-years-old. I strongly believe that Larry Bird was the best to ever hold a basketball and that Tom Brady is clearly the best quarterback in the NFL today. If you like it, or if you don’t like it, you had better learn to love it because it’s the best thing going today. Favorite sport to play: Football
