Biography

I am a writer and editor with more than 20 years experience covering primarily sports, but also food, arts, city government and more. My first big break as a writer, I suppose, was winning a blogging competition at Fox Sports, earning me the title of Next Great Sportswriter of 2006. After writing for Fox I went on to cover Nebraska football and basketball for CBS Sports. In 2012, I started as a reporter at Hail Varsity, a new, independent, monthly magazine covering the Huskers. I was promoted to managing editor in 2013, and oversaw all of our editorial operations, managing a team of seven-to-10 writers and photographers, for the next decade. I am the co-author of "Dream Like a Champion" with Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook. Published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2017, the book has sold more than 10,000 copies to date and remains in print. Since August of 2023 I have been growing a Substack, counterread.com, focused on coverage of Nebraska sports stories, while continuing to perform freelance writing and editing.
