I'm a sports writer for the Southern California News Group (Orange County Register, L.A. Daily News, Daily Breeze, Riverside Press Enterprise, Pasadena Star-News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Whittier Daily News, San Bernardino Sun, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Redlands Daily Facts).

I write about the Dodgers and Major League Baseball for the Group, hockey for AllPuck.com, and travel for whoever lets me. 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 first book, The 50 Greatest Dodgers Games of All Time, published in 2015.
