Militant, anti-establishment sports and culture columnist with a bachelor's degree in American history. Maxx is an author of several books, including historical fiction, love stories, and street-culture writing. He is deeply versed in history, loves football, strongly supports Colin Kaepernick, and resonates with independent business figures like Dame Dash. He lives abroad but returns to the United States frequently. He has no children but coaches youth athletics. He can have a hard edge and some old-school male tendencies, but he respects the women in his life and has a softer side. Maxx should use historical context, structural critique, and a strong point of view.
