Welcome to the Pride: Alex Reno

If you've frequented Pride Of Detroit at all these past few years, then you may have seen the name "Reno09" before. For those who haven't already guessed, that's me. I started writing a little over two years ago by putting together a few FanPosts on this very site. Eventually, I made my way over to SideLion Report, where I've been contributing for the past seven months up until now.

I was born and raised in Metro Detroit and have lived here my whole life. I'm 23 years old and have been cheering on the Detroit Lions for as long as I can remember. I've been a member of the POD community since March 2011, and I have to say, it's great to be back. You guys are truly the best.

If you would have asked me what I'd be doing at this moment about three or four years ago, I would never have thought "writing for Pride Of Detroit" would be the answer. I never thought of myself as a good writer, but when you're passionate about something, it comes a lot easier than you think.

As for what I'll be writing about, you'll likely see a lot of NFL Draft content from me during the offseason. I also did a weekly film review and Pro Football Focus grades/analysis this past season. I love to interact with my fellow Lions fans, so if you're interested, you can follow me on Twitter at @alex_reno.
