A Colorado Convert, he started covering the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsoccer.com\/category\/rapids\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado Rapids<\/a>\u00a0as a credentialed member of the press in 2016, though he\u2019s watched MLS since \u201996. When he\u2019s not watching or writing about soccer, he\u2019s being an outdoorsman (mostly skiing and hiking) in this beautiful state or trying a new beer. For some reason, he thought that\u00a0starting a podcast with Mark was a good idea and he can\u2019t figure out how to stop this madness.

When not watching soccer or coaching his son\u2019s U-8 team, he\u2019s generally studying either Talmud or medieval biblical exegesis. Which explains why he watches so much MLS, probably.
