I am a graduate of Seneca Colleges Civil Engineering Technology Program and have turned my obsession for sports into a lifestyle. I cover the Colorado Avalanche here on The Hockey Writers but have been a diehard Maple Leafs fan since birth. Fantasy sports is more than just a hobby for me it’s a passion. I’m always looking for the next best sleeper pick or blockbuster trade. I love collecting sports memorabilia and when I’m not watching the Toronto Raptors, Blue Jays, or Pittsburgh Steelers; you can find me playing for my ball hockey team, playing video games, or listening to classic rock with a cold one or a coffee in my hand.
