After being a staff writer at The Sixer Sense since June 2011, I stepped in as editor in May 2012. I served as editor until March 2013 and am now back to the Staff Writer role. I have now joined another FanSided site, Sir Charles In Charge in April 2013. I'm an author of two books. I am the mind behind DALANEL, a blog site. I tend to say and do weird things. I blame it on my third nipple.
