: About Me

I was born and raised in Phoenix and attended school at Arizona State. I graduated with a BA in psychology and moved to Seattle a few months after graduation to get away from the heat, even though I had to leave my family and friends behind. I have been working for a small agency that works with developmentally delayed kids for over two years now and enjoy my work most of the time.

I love living in Seattle. The people, the culture, the weather (except in February and March when you just want it to stop raining already) the food, the city itself, everything about it. If the weather is decent, Ill be outside enjoying it running, playing basketball, football, softball, hiking or just sitting in the grass at Green Lake. If the weather is not so nice I still may be found outside but I love movies and enjoy reading from time to time. I live with several friends so chances are pretty good we'll just be hanging out and having fun together on really rainy days.

I write because I enjoy doing it and perhaps would like to pursue it further somewhere down the road. I love sports and will choose to write about a sports topic over most anything else, but I do have an interest in several other areas including politics (sometimes), entertainment, economics/finance, justice and psychology to name a few.

Sports & Recreation > College Basketball NCAA: Why March Madness is such a big deal

2 of 15

March Madness; that pretty much sums it up. The greatest tournament in sports doesn't need to be defended or justified in its position, and it's a good thing too. The reasoning behind the greatness of March Madness is not easily explained. It lies in the buzzer beating shots, the behind the scenes stories and the unthinkable upsets from years past. Bryce Drew, Tyus Edny, and Lorenzo Charles are part of what makes March Madness so special. Bucknell, Santa Clara, Richmond, Valparaiso, and Princeton help make it special too. But on top of all of this, there are the road trips, the school spir...
