Since May 2008 I have been the senior staff writer for Panthers.com, official Web site of the NFL franchise Carolina Panthers. But more relevant to Flickr, I'm also a photographer, shooting practices, team events and pregame activities on the field.

The upcoming season (2009) is my eighth with an NFL team, my 11th in league Web circles and my 14th writing about professional football. My resume includes a six-year stint with the Denver Broncos (2002-08), three years on NFL.com, the league's official Web site (1999-2002) and three years covering the Arena Football League's Tampa Bay Storm (1996-99), which included one year working directly with the team.
