I've covered sports and music extensively for a variety of outlets. I worked for the NFL for three seasons, covered the Oakland A's for the Martinez News-Gazette, and boxing for USA TODAY, RING Magazine, and Boxing Monthly. I've also covered music for LA Weekly (before they purged their entire staff) and my own LA-based music blog Pass The Aux.
