About

It feels great to be a Bleacher Creature and enjoy the luxury of reading great stuff, almost without end. I am limited only in the sense my personal disposable time is limited. I feel I have joined a great community. In a truly authentic spiritual sense, I feel I have become a global citizen, too.

I have made Chicago my home since August of 1997. I can't think of a better place to live.

The opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics always affect me in a profound way. They remind me of the brotherhood of men and how unity could help promote peace and understanding among nations. Sports can achieve that oneness in a large sense.

Bleacher Report, I believe, has contributed big time to this cause, by simply fraternizing this great community of kindred writers and letting them enjoy the freedom of becoming knights of the keyboard.

I believe God is the greatest sports fan. Our physical bodies and brains are fearfully and wonderfully made. He made us - that is my heart-felt and heart-defining dogma. I also write under Religion and Spirituality at http://www.examiner.com/x-13335-Chicago-Baptist-Examiner, where I cover a variety of topics held dear by Christian believers. I just joined Christian Telegraph as a contributing writer. It's a great source of christian-related news around the world (http://christiantelegraph.com/).

I also write for Asean Tribune - a monthly Chicago publication keying on Southeat Asian news/culture/politics/entertainment/fashion/economics/history/cuisine/personalities, Chicago community news, business, sports in general, health and natural medicine.
