Joel Dill

When I was a baby my parents used to set me up in front of the TV watching any sports event in a swing -- they wouldn't hear a peep from me for hours. These days I am rarely ever quiet about sports. I was born, raised, and educated in Wyoming (no jokes please) as an avid Denver sports fan. I currently work and live in Denver with my beautiful wife and son. My childhood dream was to be a sportswriter, and while my career has taken me a different direction I am extremely excited for the opportunity to share my insights and opinion on Rox Pile!
