Recent San Diego transplant to the Pacific Northwest living in Eugene, Oregon. I grew up in the Central Valley of CA cheering for the Braves on TBS before moving to San Diego for college and becoming a Padres fan. Moving up north has only strengthened my Padres fan-hood and writing for Friars on Base since March of 2014.
