I'm a proud mom to an incredible son who played Division I Power 4 college football—so yes, I’ve logged more hours on the sidelines, in the stands, and refreshing recruiting sites than I care to admit! Professionally, I spent 20 years as an Educator, as they say “shaping young minds” until I decided it was time to change my own playbook. These days, I work in residential construction by day and keep up with all things sports by night.
Sports have always been my thing—messy, dramatic, exhilarating, and full of life lessons. I grew up playing all types of sports including basketball, volleyball, and BMX racing, which allowed me to travel the country with my family. Now I’ve traded jumps for trails as a mountain biker and hiker who loves getting lost in the woods. My weekends are sacred. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are dedicated to all things college football: from high school recruiting to NIL deals to kickoff Saturdays in the Fall.
When I'm not chasing sports headlines or trail dust, you’ll find me sipping strong coffee, hunting down good tacos, and cracking jokes—sometimes just to make myself laugh. My Twitter (X) feed is a perfect storm of college football updates, NCAA gymnastics highlights, women’s sports wins, ESPN takes, comedians, and a steady stream of Ted Lasso memes. It’s chaotic, passionate, and full of flavor—just like my life.
