I'm a junior at Central Washington University (CWU) majoring in Digital Journalism. I've been involved with a college club hockey team and junior-a teams since sixth grade when I started following hockey intently. Around that same time I started attending Portland Winterhawks games and got hooked after the first one. For a couple years I ran a website covering the WSHL. I currently run a website covering arena football called Arena Football Talk which has been around for just over five years. Prior to joining The Hockey Writers I was with BCHL Network for six months covering the Wenatchee Wild. I look forward to covering the BCHL for The Hockey Writers and putting out top quality content!
