I missed my calling and didn’t get a chance to play second base in the majors. Turns out, Crash Davis was right when he said, “You’ll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes.” Instead, I've spent the majority of my career describing athletes as colorful in the press.
The back of my baseball card goes something like this: sports + fitness + technology + athlete data + player development + storytelling + big ideas + smallest details + deep interviews + endless questions + relentless curiosity.
I love to explore deep complexities and distill them into elegant simplicity. As a journalist, I’ve learned the best stories deal with change — in ourselves and the world — and they usually start with a gnawing question that you can’t answer.
I am currently doing consulting work in the athlete/player development space, but I’m open to any worthwhile challenge. I'd love to help you find divergent solutions to your most challenging questions. Let's connect and see how we might be able to collaborate.
Previously, I worked at The Messenger (senior editor), BreakAway Data (director of content & communications), SportTechie (editorial director), Men’s Health (features director), Sports Illustrated (writer, editor, co-founder of The MMQB) and the New York Daily News (covered everything from high schools to the World Series).
When I’m not working, you can probably find me coaching youth baseball. In my next life I plan on coming back as a pro surfer, and if I win the lottery I'll spend the rest of this lifetime fishing around the globe.
Fishing and baseball?
I’m basically Ted Williams without the .344 lifetime average.
