I'm an undercover agent living in enemy territory in Chicago. Although I grew up in Illinois, I spent many childhood weekends travelling through Wisconsin with my parents and attending Badgers games, and I showed a bit of early wisdom by rejecting my dad's suggestion that I root for the Bears. I have a journalism degree from Bethel University in St. Paul, Minn., and my other job is as a football data specialist at STATS, LLC. I've previously written for the Kansas City Star sports section and spent a fall helping cover the Dolphins for the Miami Herald. -30-
