I am an award-winning journalist who has worked in sports and as an investigative reporter before starting with Patch as a roving editor in April, 2020. Prior to Patch, my work appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes SportsMoney, ESPN.com and other outlets. I finished the 2012 Chicago Marathon and am currently studying improv at the renowned Second City, where many a Saturday Night Live alums got their start.
