I also write about music and other nerd stuff, like movies and video games.

In addition to Substack, my other writing can be found at Medium, USA Today’s Mountain West Wire and The Utah Statesman, as well as on Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Sports, the Herald Journal, and other outlets.

My sports analytics website is www.SportsMetricsLab.com and more information about me can be found here.
