Born in 1988, I have followed the NBA ever since I can remember. Over the years, I have also developed a deep interest in soccer and the NHL. I have been writing about sports for nearly two decades, covering events from various angles. After multiple ventures, I landed on the RotoBaller roster in 2018. Since then, I have mainly focused on creating content related to fantasy sports and sports betting. In my native Estonia (it's a beautiful little country, look it up!), I also work as a sportscaster and have covered many of the world's most popular sports leagues, including the NBA, NHL, and Premier League.
