About

My beautiful wife, Valerie and I have three children along with a couple of cats and a couple of dogs. I closely follow Detroit Tigers baseball as well as most of the other sports. I attended Bowling Green State University where I majored in English. I currently work as a car rental manager, while holding out hope of becoming the next lottery winner.

While I frequently post articles here, you can find more of my work covering the Detroit Tigers at my website, http://tigerstracks.com.
