[edit] Bio

I'm a regular 20-something. I have a degree (with a double major in journalism and marketing) and can't find a "real job" to use it in. I recently moved to the Columbus area after growing up about 45 minutes away from Cleveland. I'm married, we have a dog (Pronk) and a beta fish.

I grew up as a confused sports fan, liking whatever team was good that year and whatever team my parents didn't. The only exception is that I found the Chicago Bulls before their rise to glory. Slowly I started changing my allegiances to the home town teams. First came the Indians when they moved to the Jake in '94. Then came the Browns - who promptly moved to Baltimore. The Cavs were last, but not far behind.

While in college I served a year as sports editor for the University newspaper before moving up to Managing Editor where I still did some of the sports stuff.

I love writing. I love sports. I love writing about sports. What else do you need?

[edit] The Mystery of CPCP

If you've come looking for an explanation of my username, I'm afraid I can't offer much. I signed up on this site just to check it out. When I did so I inexplicably chose a username from my past that I haven't used for a good three years. I didn't realize at the time I'd become an Armchair addict and putting the username all over the site. You can make guesses and assumptions, but I will unfortunately (for you) have to take the meaning of CPCP to the grave. There's only one other person who knows what it means, and that way it shall stay.
