I'm joining Pucks and Pitchforks as its editor at the beginning of the 2012-2013 season after covering the Devils for the past three seasons. On the flip-side, I'm a junior at Rutgers University, studying Journalism and Media Studies, and I have been a staff sports writer for the past two years at the Two River Times in Red Bank, N.J. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending time at the real Jersey Shore, where I've been born and raised.
