I've been writing about the Boston Celtics since my brother and I started a Celtics blog, Celtics Town, in 2010. I've had an interview interrupted by LeBron James rapping 2 Chainz, shared an elevator ride with Rodger Goodell, and still have the injury report from when Rajon Rondo dislocated his elbow and returned to play. Proud Sports Journalism alum from Springfield College, the birthplace of basketball. I worked for James Naismith's relative at the library. I started all 22 games of my senior HS season, yet managed to shoot on three FTs (I was a sniper). KG is my spirit animal, Brad Stevens my idol, and there's nothing I love more than talking or playing hoops.
