About Lance »

Hi, I am Lance and I am originally from Seattle, Washington but now I live in upstate New York.

I am a transplanted Buffalo Bills fan and also a devout Seahawks fan...I used to love the Mariners and Supersonics, but I've dropped those two.

I am retired from the US Army after 23 years of service and earned my Bachelor's degree from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale--Go Salukis! I hold an MBA from Touro University and ride my Harley in my freetime.

I write about the NFL, mainly the Bills and Seahawks, to hone my writing skills and to see if anyone shares my opinions.

If you like an article - or even if you don't - let me know, I would like to hear what you think.

Thanks,
Lance

This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

Thank you everyone!
