Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now

About Me



My name is Brent, and I work in sports for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. I love journalism, but it's a profession I think ranks right below lawyers but also right above axe murderers and politicians on the most-hated people list. Anyway, I’m originally from Kansas and now live in Pittsburgh with my beagle (Jay) and two chinchillas (Owen and Zippy). I'm more than halfway through grad school and hope that leads me to fame and riches beyond my imagination ... just small goals. When I'm not at home, work or school, you can probably find me at Redbeards, drinking pretty much anything with Maker's in it ... or anything that's put in front of me, for that matter.

My Interests

It's impossible to list everything I enjoy doing for fun. I love movies, reading, hiking, grilling, watching sports, going out to bars and traveling.

Books:

I don't read books as much anymore, but I read a ton of newspapers. I'm a complete news junkie. I probably read about five to 10 newspapers all the way through each day. I clearly have problems.
