From 2005-2006, I maintained a political blog at MyDD.com where I covered Ohio politics. In 2006, I attended the University of Missouri-Columbia, majoring in journalism and political science on a journalism scholarship. From 2008-2010, I was the associate editor of The Groove, Berklee’s student newspaper, writing articles exploring various aspects of student and music culture and reviewing records and live shows (my archive at BerkleeGroove.com). I have also been writing movie reviews since I was a tyke, a recent archive of which can be found here.
