I have been writing about sports since 2014. I was in high school, had too many opinions about the Warriors and the Niners, and needed somewhere to put them. I was part of a blog called The Foul Language that a few friends from high school started. Nothing fancy. Just a group of kids from Northern California who loved sports and wanted to figure out how to write about them.
Then life happened.
I graduated college, moved to San Francisco where I built a career in accounting and finance. For a few years the writing stopped completely. The spreadsheets took over.
Then I picked up Moneyball.
Read it cover to cover in three days. Something about the way Michael Lewis told that story, a finance guy using data to expose what everyone in baseball thought they already knew, hit differently when you actually work with numbers for a living. It reminded me why I started writing about sports in the first place. The numbers are never just numbers. There is always a human story inside them.
In the summer of 2026 I packed up and moved to New York City. New chapter.
"Beyond the Box Score is me coming back to writing with financial training I did not have the first time around. Same love of sports. Completely different set of tools."
Growing up watching the Niners, Giants, and Warriors I was always more interested in the front office decisions than the average fan. Why did they make that trade. Where did the money go. Who actually benefits when a new stadium gets built and the city kicks in half a billion dollars of public money. Those questions never really got answered in the coverage I was reading.
Most sports media covers what happened. I want to cover why it happened and who it actually served. The finance background helps. So does being a fan who has cared about these teams his whole life and noticed when the business side and the fan side stopped telling the same story.
New articles every week covering the business and history of sports across every league. A Sunday newsletter called The Briefing with five stories that actually matter. The Balance Sheet every Wednesday breaking down one sports business decision with a real financial verdict. Takes that are honest rather than designed to go viral.
I grew up a Niners fan, a Giants fan, and a Warriors fan. Now living in New York I watch more Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, and Giants games than I probably should. But no matter where I live I will always be a sports fanatic. On this site I follow the money, not the jersey.
