Born and raised in St. Louis. My sports fandom started with my local teams and has only grown broader and broader since day 1. I love having action all around the sports world, but my primary betting interests and handicapping lie with the NHL and MLB. I combine experience playing and coaching those sports with obsession, fandom, observations, trends and more to bring you the most knowledgeable insight possible for your picks.

Greatest Betting Win

A win that stands out was a 3-leg NHL parlay at +850 odds in the 2023-24 NHL regular season. I published and hit: - Florida ML & Over 6.5 (+155) - Bruins vs Stars Under 5.5 (-110) - Vancouver ML (-105) Among individual pick winners, these higher odds parlays with fantastic value feel great to cash. The other reason it stands out among other wins, published or not, is because it was one of my first published parlays which included a same-game parlay itself. More recently, I saw the board fairly well in the 2025 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. Standout wins from this past postseason included Same Game Parlay odds of +470, +485, and +500.

Favorite betting market / type

It is not exactly original, but I love a good, old fashioned game total over in any sport. With that, unsurprisingly, I am a fan of the Grand Salami, the over of the combined total goals scored on an individual NHL slate. If I feel like I am seeing the board well or have a good beat on a team, roster, particular matchup, etc., I like to take: - Player props (all sports) - Individual games and player futures - Outright underdogs with plus odds (all sports) - Winners & Top 5's (Golf) - Team futures (all sports) - season win totals (o/u), to make playoffs (y/n), to win division or conference (y/n), to win the championship (y/n)
