I am the editor of the White Sox blog "Southside Showdown". 2013 brings on the fourth year that I have kept up daily writings on the White Sox. It continues to serve as regular sportswriting practice and an outlet for my affection for the team.

Please see the latest entries from my Southside Showdown feed below.

Currently, I am a digital media intern at Comcast SportsNet Chicago and am a graduate journalism student at DePaul University. In my time at CSNChicago, I have been given the opportunity to cover both Cubs Convention and SoxFest, the product of which you can see here:

As a journalism student at DePaul, I had the opportunity to participate in the coverage of the 2012 election for The Red Line Project. Provided here as examples is my wrap-up of the third presidential debate and a recap of Rep. Jan Schakowsky's election party.

It is a continuation of my comedic writing that begin during my sophomore year of college, where I was the president of the student comedy troupe at Notre Dame.
