I am a Comic Journalist who loves comics, movies, tv, and basically all things pop culture related. Walt Disney World is my happy place and the best music ever created came from the 80’s. I’m a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan that can get you a 5 on your AP Calc exam. I hate being hot. I hate being cold and I run at least 5 miles a day just to stay in shape. Message me the next time you want to meet up for disc golf and did I mention I read A LOT of comics. My amazing wife and family will always come first and always remember to never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.
