About Me

I am a freelance journalist that has covered a variety of realms in the news world including sports, politics, technology and entertainment. I have a lot of passions in life; hockey, friends, family, MMA, food and traveling (if you consider trips to Las Vegas as travel).

Last year, I held the role of managing editor at Long Island Report, an online news site based out of Hofstra University. We had the honor of covering the second presidential debate on Hofstra’s campus as well as the events that transpired during and after Hurricane Sandy. In addition, Mashable took a step inside LIR’s News Hub to witness first-hand, our techniques and methods used to cover local news. Currently, I am editor-at-large for Long Island Report, with my main focus on freelancing and web design.

For several months, I served as the Northeast regional correspondent for Stadium Journey, a web site that has compiled over 1,000 reviews on sporting venues. I had numerous articles featured in their seasonal magazine and had the opportunity to visit both major, minor and college sporting venues.

I like to express my opinion on several podcast/radio shows that I host; Takedown MMA Radio, Top Shelf Talk and the Big Giants Boom Podcast.

To top it all of,  I am the manager of a neighborhood power equipment store.

Progressing towards my Master’s degree at Hofstra University, I’ve contributed to sites such as ESPN.com, Big Giants Boom, and Long Island Politics.  I graduated ‘Summa Cum Laude’ from Dowling College in 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in American politics. Born-and-raised on Long Island, I am still proud to call the island my home at the age of 25. I have aspirations of some day being an intricate part at a major media outlet.
