I have been online editor at KUsports.com since August of 2008, coming from The Emporia Gazette, where I covered Emporia State sports. A native of Emporia, I double-majored in journalism and communication studies from the University of Kansas in 2006. In addition to sports, I enjoy sleeping in and Royals baseball games, even though my record at the "K" is usually uninspiring.
