My primary role is overseeing Orioles and baseball coverage in The Baltimore Sun and on baltimoresun.com, and I also manage our coverage of horse racing.

I can also be found editing stories from our other sports beats and producing various elements of the website.

From June 2011-June 2012, I oversaw our coverage of high school sports.

I grew up in the Boston suburb of Stoughton, Mass., but I'm no newcomer to this area.

I studied journalism at the University of Maryland from 2002-06, and during that time I worked two stints as an intern at The Sun. I also worked for four years as a reporter at The Diamondback -- Maryland's independent student paper -- and I was an intern at MLB.com and a correspondent to Sports Illustrated.

After graduating, I spent a year as the sports editor of a group of weekly newspapers in Massachusetts. I then spent four years at The Winchester (Va.) Star, two as its sports editor.

I returned to The Sun in June of 2011 and am now a proud resident of Canton. (Fittingly, a Boston native who now lives on Boston Street.)
