An extraordinarily proud New England native, I was born in Northern Vermont and raised in a small border town called Franklin which boasts more cows than people and and exceptional views of foliage and Canada. At the encouragement of my father (an alum), I came to Laramie in 2007 hoping to become a Sports Journalist but quickly changed my mind and decided that I preferred talking over writing. Thus, I graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2011 with a degree in Communication. During my years at the University of Wyoming, I played a semi-mediocre role in the long-awaited rebirth of the UW Student Radio Station, serving as the station's first Sports Director and hosting a morning sports-talk show called 'Sorry To Wake You.' Frequently heard but rarely seen, I have been the Public Address Announcer for almost every sports team at the University of Wyoming and have announced a number of miscellaneous events (sports and otherwise) throughout the Laramie and UW community. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife Loryn and my dog June. I enjoy playing almost any sport the Laramie weather allows, spontaneous trivia competitions and all music that sounds good. I fight regularly to defend the honor of the Boston Red Sox; I cheer for the San Antonio Spurs almost entirely because of my admiration for David Robinson; my favorite sports writers are John Feinstein and Rick Reilly; my favorite band is Barenaked Ladies.

4th of July with no BBQ? – Survey of the Day
You cannot celebrate Independence Day without having a BBQ... but what if you have no choice?
Which is more Patriotic? – Survey of the Day
Intrinsically connected with summertime, Memorial Day and Independence Day are holidays away from work, to enjoy parades, fireworks and barbecues. Additionally, they are both holidays richly rooted in American culture, days to practice patriotic pride and wave the American flag.
Where in Laramie is This? Week of June 25
In continuing a weekly feature, we have a picture from somewhere in Laramie. We went out around town and took a picture of something, then zoomed in on only a small portion of the picture- so it’s like identifying a puzzle from only one piece. Some of you might not think this is fair, because, when doing a puzzle, at least you can hold any piece up to the box and see where it goes… While this is true, the picture here was taken in Laramie, so just like the cover of the puzzle box, you can see where this picture is from just by walking or driving around town and keeping an eye out… If you think you’ve figured it out, comment below, where in Laramie was this picture taken?
