I grew up in Vermont, but orange blood has always run through my veins, as my dad was born and raised in Syracuse. I graduated from SU in 2003 with a BA in History, and when I'm not working my day job, I've done freelance writing for sites such as Cracked and Spike, and own and operate my own Syracuse site, OttosGrove.com. I live in Texas with my wife and our son, who will become a diehard Orange fan if he knows what's good for him.
