Writing and making social content about everything from sports to "not sports."

Hi! I'm a podcast host, freelance writer, and social video person. Split Zone Duo is about the very strange world of college football, while my writing and videos are about whatever I (or my editor) find compelling on any given day. The key thing is that it has to be interesting!

I make a lot of Instagram Reels and TikToks, usually about college football. My idea of what constitutes being "about college football" is pretty broad, however.
