About James »

I'm a 37 year old husband to a beautiful wife who doesn't necessarily understand what the big deal is about football, baseball, and everything else sports, but she tolerates me nonetheless.
By day, I manage a team of twenty or so analysts at Kansas City's largest employer. By night, I'm dad to 3 of the most wonderful kids a man could ask for. My daughters love t-ball and even though my wife is attempting to turn my son into a Packer fan, he shows his love for Daddy's teams with a "Go Chiefs, Go Huskers" every night when I tuck him into bed.
