Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, I have. I guess I am showing my age as well, right?

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

If I had to choose, it would be either via phone call or text.

What's your favorite social network?

Facebook has gotten old on my end, so I enjoy using Shapr on my iPhone.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

I did! I worked as the assistant sports editor my junior year and was the SE my senior year.

When's the best time to pitch you?

Any time after 9:00 AM Central. The first cup of coffee is usually in me, so I'm more loose to talk.

What's the best pitch you ever got?

Covering the Houston Texans for the 2011 season for CBSSports.com.

What's your favorite drink?

Perrier.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

In most cases, I will use the time to work out, spend time with family or at yoga.

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

I love reading Forex.com. When not covering sports, I do actively trade in the Forex field.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

Covering sports isn't all about the game that are played. As a sportswriter, we are also asked to be much more than narrators of a game.
