Wonderland Road

• Founder, Writer

  • Sep 2011 - Jun 2012

  I developed the website 'Wonderland Road' as a home for a weekly column I was writing on sports and pop culture. The column was eventually picked up and re-posted by multiple other websites, with word of mouth and social media developing a regular and enthusiastic readership. Other work and responsibilities have required me to put the Wonderland Road column on hiatus since June of 2012.
