I have been with the Standard Democrat sports department since 2007. I took over as sports editor in May of 2011 and have been slightly crazy about sports since I can remember. I attended Southeast Missouri State University and Scott County Central High School. I co-created our sports web show "The Last Word" and my two children, Elijah and CJ. I was married to my wife, Angie, in May of 2014. I love to golf, I am an avid NBA2K gamer and root for the Fighting Irish on Saturdays.

Welcome to my world

Hello there.

You've more than likely seen me around, toting a camera and trying to look busy at your local sporting event. Yep, I'm THAT bald guy.

For those of you who know sports and technology, this is my new sports blog. Every so often I will enlighten you with my expertise and uncanny ability to post newsworthy events with cat-like speed and reflexes. Breaking high school SEMO sports news, college signings and your every day scuttlebutt will be the norm.

I also administer the SD twitter account, @sd_sports, where I tweet, re-tweet and tweet again all the haps on our local sports scene.

Please feel free to comment and give your opinions. I hope to engage in quality sports talk as well as some occasional riff raff.
