I'm a freelance writer who regularly publishes with Newsweek Sports, Sports Illustrated, and The Big Lead.

In past lives, I was a musician, a substitute teacher and a grocery bagger. Currently living in the beautiful Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles.

My second book, about Shohei Ohtani's first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, published (in Japanese) in 2025.
