Team History

2013–2017 Pittsburgh Pirates
2018–2019 Houston Astros
2020–Pres. New York Yankees
I am a person who finds balance between intense action and quiet relaxation, drawn to the strategic drama of combat sports while cultivating a laid-back lifestyle. I am fascinated by both the authentic athleticism of MMA and the theatrical storytelling of Pro Wrestling, enjoying the different kinds of excitement each world offers. My newest interest is collecting sports cards, which lets me connect with the history and value of these athletic pursuits on a whole new level. Geographically, my life is spread across key American cities, with deep roots in Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, and Boston, giving me a coast-to-coast perspective that blends the diverse cultures of the South, the West Coast, and New England.
