Hometown: Mount Vernon, VA

College: Northwestern University

First job in journalism: Washington Post

At Washington Post since: September 2007

Favorite Sport: To play: futbol. To cover: futbol or football.

Favorite Athlete: Francesco Totti.

Favorite Team: Northwestern Wildcats.

Favorite Writer (Other than Tom Boswell): Way too many to list. Ignoring WP writers, I'd say that one guy I read pretty much every time he has something up is Peter King. I'll say King as to not cop out of an answer.

Favorite Moment at Post: Maybe covering my first Redskins game. I grew up here in the area reading the Post, so covering the Skins for the first time was pretty cool. It ended up being against the Detroit Lions, and my mom is from Detroit, so that was an extra thrill for my family as well.

Favorite Moment on WPL: Definitely being in studio with Bruce Arena and Bruce Boudreau. The kicker was watching some of the U.S. National team game with Bruce Arena in the green room after the show. Oh, and also going back and forth with Wise about his column during the Caps-Flyers game.
