I spent the first ten years of my life in Blacksburg, VA. At that point my family and I moved up the road to Roanoke. I graduated from Syracuse University in the spring of 2011 with a B.S. in Communications and Rhetorical Studies and a concentration in writing. I then spent a year as a Virginia Tech Featured Columnist for Bleacher Report before joining the Rant Sports team as an ACC Columnist.
