Born and raised in Indianapolis, I was brainwashed at an early age by my ND grad father and Saint Mary's grad mother to develop a healthy yet consistently-devastating obsession with Notre Dame sports. I was lucky enough to attend, and graduate from, ND (class of '13), and now live in Chicago, working in eCommerce by day and writing about funny athlete names by night. Hopefully you sometimes like some of the things I type into this here website.
