When he's not cheering on the Nuggets, Broncos, Avs, or Nebraska Cornhuskers (I know, I know), you can find him getting down to live music at Red Rocks or another local venue, grooving to anything from hip-hop to jazz to electronic.

About FanSided
The idea of FanSided was born in 2007, when two brothers felt that their favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, was being under-covered by the mainstream media. Taking matters into their own hands, they launched Arrowhead Addict, a move that would spawn the creation of FanSided in 2009, a network of over 300+ fan-powered unique sports, entertainment and lifestyle sites dedicated to team-specific, sport-specific, genre-specific, and fanbase-specific coverage. From sports, movies and TV to lifestyle and tech, FanSided has you covered.
