About

Whether it's playing them, talking about them or watching them I love sports!!! I was a sports talk show host known as the "MUDDKAT" in St. Louis, Mo. on 1380am for a year, first as a co-host on "Naked Sports Talk" with Scot Morris then I went solo with my own show "The Sports Beast".
When it comes to sports, I've done a lot. 23 yrs. of football including 7 yrs. at the semi-pro level. I was a hockey goalie for 9 yrs. both ice and in-line. Diving, Swimming, Baseball, Softball, Basketball, Bowling, Golf, Soccer for a year and many more.
I am also a nationally certified coach through ACEP, I have coached football from youth to the semi-pro levels and In-line hockey at the high school level even qualifying for back to back national tournaments one local and the latter being in West Palm Beach, FL. it was a trip i'll never forget.

My favorite teams include the St. Louis Rams, Blues, Cardinals, and the Michigan Wolverines. I also follow the Pittsburgh Steelers, Missouri Tigers, University of Illinois, and the SLU Billikens.
