After being a contributor at The Sixer Sense since June 2011, I stepped in as an Expert in May 2012. I served as an Expert until March 2013 and went back to Contributor until June 2014. I joined another FanSided site, Sir Charles In Charge in April 2013. I also served as Front Desk Writer on main site in 2013. In February 2015, I became a contributor for Whatever A Spider Can. In 2017, I became a paid contributor for Bam Smack Pow. I love FanSided and I hope you do too. I run a blog called Dante's Optimism, which is a growing leader in positive blogging. I tend to say and do weird things. I blame it on my third nipple. Follow me on Twitter, mainly to see me and my awkward love hate relationship with the Sixers.
