When I first got the idea in my head that I might enjoy being a sportswriter, I started looking for websites where I could polish my writing skills. I guess it was about 3 years ago, I started writing about the Redskins for Allsports.com, which uses a lot of volunteer writers. I had only written 2 or 3 articles for them when Matty shot me an email and told me he liked my articles and invited me to check out The Warpath.

Outside of a couple of college classes where my professors used them to supplement classroom discussions, I was completely new to the whole message board thing. Needless to say, I was hooked when I visited this board for the first time. I couldn't believe it-- here was this awesome community of Redskins fans just like me, sharing their love of the Skins, and I had been missing out on it for so long! The first few months after my discovery of the site, I probably put in more time reading and writing posts on this site than I put in at my job. Soon thereafter, Matt asked me if I'd like to write and moderate for the site, and so here we are.

It sounds totally corny (and perhaps pathetic to some), but finding The Warpath is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. In this one incredible place, I have an outlet for my creativity, a community of fellow Redskins fans to share ideas with, a one-stop shop for Redskins news, and just a place to relax, hang out and have fun. And of course, thanks to The Warpath, I've had the unbelievable opportunity to go to Redskins Park and report on the team I've adored all my life. Thanks, Matty, for bringing me here, and thanks to all of you Warpathers for making this such a fantastic place to be a Redskins fan.
