About

They call me CK. I was born somewhere in Wisconsin, don't remember where, don't remember when. I was too young so I have no memory of it. I grew up a true Packer Backer (players, coaches and GMs come and go, but the TEAM remains!), not a fanatic. That is my mother. Biggest Packer fan in the land she is, and I will fight to the death on the validity of that fact.
I've lived here and there, traveled far and wide. Lived on both coasts and a few places in between. Seen the snows of Mt. Fuji and the beaches of the Philippines. Written speeches for generals and told the stories of privates. I've seen some things I love to share with others, and some things I will never share with anyone. I'm a professional photographer and a printed journalist, but my interests lay more in the public affairs/media relations field as I love telling people what to think.
I'm passionate about sports, but after serving my country, I found its just a pleasant distraction, that's not worth getting so upset over. But its still fun watch and still fun to debate about it.
I really love football, and I'm not talking about the NFL (which I love too). I'm talking about soccer. Best game I ever played, best sport to see live with a real soccer crowd. Hockey is a close second as best sport to watch live.
I am engaged to the prettiest woman in the world and that is another fact I will fight to the death over.
I am laid back, love to joke, very sarcastic but if you tick me off you will get some venom like you have never seen. But it takes a lot to get me that mad ;)
I love to sail, love to hike, love to rollerblade, love to bike. Hey that rhymed and I wasn't even tryin'. If I say I'm a great writer, I wouldn't be lyin'.
So if you like my work, please let me know. If you think it sucks, I got a place you can go.
Thats it for now, got nothing left to say, hope all goes well for ya and have a great day.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Even though athletes come and go, currently I like Messi, Greg Jennings, Tim Howard, Marouane Fellaini (how can you not love the hair?), Jonathan Towes.

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Green Bay Packers, Everton FC, FC Barcalona, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Blackhawks, Wolverhampton Wolves

  • Favorite Coaches

    Lombardi #1. "Pep" Guardiola, David Moyes, The Special 1 (he is fun to watch and make fun of)

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    First trip to Wrigley. First trip to Lambeau. Hanging out with Trey Hillman and the Nippon Ham Fighters in Okinawa

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Cubs vs. Dodgers. Got to talk to Tommy Lasorda and Harry Caray before the game

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Ted Williams' .400 season and Joltin' Joe's hit streak.

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth baby. Hot dog eatin', beer swillin', candy bar named after 'em, Sultan of Swat.

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Starr! Greatest QB to ever play the game. Five championships! Hasn't been matched yet!

    Much respect to both. Wish I could have seen Russell play.

    The Great One

    Messi, George Best and more Messi!

    What? You CAN'T be serious!!!

    Ben Hogan.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Huh? Its not even a sport! Turning left for 3 hours doesn't interest me.

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    Its the Horse!

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Big Ten, but not ashamed to admit its probably the fourth or fifth best conference.

    I find it interesting that you say that Bart Starr is the greatest QB ever, because I have said that he may be the greatest and all people do is laugh at me. But you cannot laugh at what he has done.

    What did you think of the Packers - Bears game? I went back and studied the film to come up with some surprising observations, including the key play in the game that everyone has overlooked.
