A Colorado Convert, he started covering the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/category\/rapids\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado Rapids<\/a> as credentialed member of the press in 2016, though he&#8217;s watched MLS since it started. When he&#8217;s not watching or writing about soccer, he&#8217;s being an outdoorsman (mostly skiing and hiking) in this beautiful state, trying a new beer, or traveling for work. For some reason, he thought starting a podcast with Mark was a good idea and he can&#8217;t figure out how to stop this madness. He&#8217;s also hosts <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/tag\/last-word-sc-radio\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word SC Radio<\/a>.

Shortly thereafter he went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dickssportinggoodspark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Park<\/a>, saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlssoccer.com\/players\/lee-nguyen\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lee Nguyen<\/a> dribble a ball with the silky smoothness of liquid chocolate cascading into a Bar Mitzvah fountain, and promptly feel head over heels in love with domestic soccer. When not watching MLS or coaching U8 soccer, he&#8217;s generally studying either Talmud or medieval biblical exegesis. Which explains why he watches so much MLS, probably. He writes about the Rapids for <a href=\"https:\/\/aroundmls.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Around MLS<\/a> and covers the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/author\/mgoodman\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Riverhounds<\/a> of the USL for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Last Word on Soccer<\/a>.
