I am a Seattle sports fan who would like to pursue a career in journalism. I grew up listening to the sound of Dave Niehaus' voice over the radio, and I had the name and number of every member of the Mariners memorized by the time I was three years old. The 2000 and 2001 seasons caused me to fall hopelessly in love with the Mariners; a relationship that has not been so kind over the last decade. Win or lose (mostly lose) I am still just as hooked as I was back in 2001. Currently, I am writing for Sodo Mojo and The Husky Haul, but I love talking about almost any sport.
