Thomas Price, Opinion Editor

Tom Price is the Opinion Editor for WSN. He enjoys many things such as complaining about meaningless topics as if they were national crises and attempting to grow facial hair only to fail miserably. He loves quoting obscure pop culture references to lukewarm reception and getting too deep about everything. He is from Los Angeles, which is home to the greatest sports team in the world, The Dodgers, and the 2017 NBA Champion Lakers (according to him when it gets too late at night).
