I have a strong passion for data analytics and exploration across the sports landscape, with a focus on the NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, and UFC. I enjoy uncovering insights, identifying trends, and analyzing the numbers that drive the game. Beyond analytics, I’m also deeply interested in the business side of sports, including strategic sponsorships, ticketing, and marketing. Additionally, I have a keen appreciation for the intersection of sports, music, and pop culture, recognizing the powerful connections between these industries.
