About

From a young age, journalism and sports have been a huge part of my life. My entire family is in the journalism business and if I wasn't playing sports, I was watching them on TV. It's only fitting that I've become a sports writer. For the past seven years I have learned the in's and out's of AP Style while writing features, opinion stories and breaking news. Along with that, I have growing experience as a weekly guest on ESPN 106.7's show On The Line for an hour every Friday, The Rundown podcast and appearances on several other radio stations and podcasts relating to Auburn athletics. In a world dominated by social media, I bring an expertise and knowledge of the most effective ways of pushing out content that is appealing and captivating. From my time at The Plainsman and now AuburnSports.com I have begun to build a Twitter following as I continue to cover live sports along with day-to-day news regarding Auburn athletics. I've grown up in Journalism and am prepared to produce a variety of high-quality sports stories in an ever-changing, fast-paced Journalism environment.
