Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, I'm a full time worker at a local curling club tending bar and a freelance writer. Having traveled to Chicago in 2008 to visit family, I fell in love with Wrigley Field and the Cubs during a heated game against the Brewers and never looked back. Combining my passion for literature and Baseball, I now write part time for Cubbies Crib and am always willing to talk baseball. You can follow me on twitter @denny_andrew.
