About Mike »

Name: Michael Hempel
Born: Cincinnati, OH
DOB: 01/18/1987

Schools Attended: Florida State University(2 yrs); FCCJ (current)

I'm currently living in Jacksonville, Florida attending school at the local community college. I'm pursuing a broadcast journalism degree at UNF in hopes of ultimately becoming a beat writer covering football in Cincinnati. I grew up with the Reds and Bengals, and have an overhwelming passion for Ohio State. I plan on moving to Cincinnati within 5 years, upon graduation. If you have any comments, questions or anything at all, feel free to email me. Hope you enjoy your reading!
