About

A native of Memphis, TN, I currently reside in beautiful Seattle, WA after five years spent in Bellingham, a small town to the north. Gotta get back to the big city where I'm comfortable, don't ya know. I've always harbored an affinity for the West Coast, and once the stars alligned, I moved here on a whim in 2005. I write for a music magazine up here, but with the advent of March Madness in 2009, I felt compelled to commence writing about my OTHER passion, sports; hence my appearance here.
In addition to writing about music, I also play it. I'm a veteran of several bands up here in the Northwest and Memphis as well.
Although I love to write, I find it hard to write about myself in one all-encompassing blurb, so henceforth, I'll let my articles do the talking.
Take care!

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Lawrence Taylor and Walter Payton

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Memphis Tigers, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks

  • Favorite Coaches

    John Calipari, Jeff Fisher, Phil Jackson, Josh Pastner (no, it's not just Tigers loyalty; he's legit) and Bill Parcells

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    The Music City Miracle

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    November 9, 1996. Memphis football de-throning the Peyton Manning-led UT Vols, 21-17.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    UCLA basketball's national title run in the late 60's/early 70's. Seven straight and ten of twelve is insane.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays, given his stiffer competition.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana, only because of his title count.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan. Multiple titles for both guys, but the former's numbers are better, rebounds notwithstanding.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzky. His 215 pts in 1985-86 were a close second to my "most unbreakable record" answer.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Pele...gotta look at what he did for the sport in general, ala Michael Jordan.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Sampras, so far.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Nicklaus, but Tiger's on pace to break his records if he can keep his nascent personal drama at bay.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Petty--his videogame-esque numbers are hard to match. Then again, it was a different era given all of the rules changes over the years.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Schumacher, only because I recognize HIS name.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    ACC for basketball and SEC for football.

    I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore! (although...what, exactly is the criteria for getting banned from this site??? I might have crossed a few lines, but I'm so fed up with the work I've put in vs. the reward).
