Sam Falconer, Retired Staff Writer (2014-2015)

Hi, I'm Sam Falconer. I'm a senior this year, so, yeah. Anyway, I am a film connoisseur and an avid reader and writer. I am also a lover of all things nerdy, so I guess that makes me a nerd, and that is fine with me. I really enjoy writing for the Stinger, especially movie reviews. In my spare time I like to read and write, watch TV or movies, and of course, soar over the countryside on my majestic falcon wings.
