About Jeff »

I'm a 46 year-old die hard Raider fan, a transplanted SoCal who now lives in Northern California. I am a father of three, a son who is now a career Marine, a daughter who is on the path to being a pediatrician, and the father of an Angel. I am just exploring my writing abilities, and one day hope to pen a book for teenagers based loosely on my late daughter's life and tragic death at the hands of another teen. If I can do something to make just one kid think before he/she acts foolishly and keep them from serious harm or death, I will consider my life's work done.

The Raiders are more to me than just a football team. They are a portal to many good people who share not only our love for our team, but our respect for each other through enduring friendship.
