Noah is a life-long Pirates fan who started his baseball writing journey on a blog he started with his friends in 2018 before his senior year of high school. He has since been writing for Rum Bunter starting in 2019, and Rising Apple since 2024. He grew with his favorite Pirates players being Francisco Liriano, Mark Melancon, A.J. Burnett and Andrew McCutchen, watching them bring the Pirates back to October baseball in 2013 through 2015. Noah graduated with a bachelor's degree in sport management in 2022 from Pennwest University, and also works as a college baseball video scout. In his free time, Noah enjoys playing video games and reading Marvel comics on his favorite characters like Spider-Man and The Punisher.
