Born and raised in San Gabriel valley. Lifelong Angels fan surrounded by Dodger and Yankee lovers. Following the 2009 ALCS (a brutal sting I will never forget) I began writing for MonkeyWithAHalo, a fellow Angels baseball site. My love for Angels, over-analyzing trends, and self-deprecating humor (as an Angels fan you need this to retain your sanity) all came together to form one of my favorite passions. Sportswriting
