Bio:

Derek has been blogging about the Baltimore Ravens (as well as the MLB’s Baltimore Orioles) on his personal website, B’More Birds’ Nest, since 2007.  Since then, his work has been featured on other sites such as Bleacher Report, Baltimore’s WNST Sports Talk 1570, the Baltimore Sun’s Charm City Current, Yardbarker, and others.  He blogs under the name “NestMinder” on B’More Birds’ Nest, which received a full write up in a Baltimore Sun article about Ravens bloggers during the 2008 NFL Playoffs.  Derek was only a year old when the Colts left town, so grew up as a fan of the NFL but of no team in particular.  He then had no reservations about jumping in with both feet when the Ravens arrived in 1996, and has been a huge fan ever since.  Derek’s favorite sports memory to date is Super Bowl XXXV, and when he isn’t blogging you can probably find him enjoying a fine craft beer or playing with his two dogs.
