About Lou »

BBQ, beer and football is what it's all about... (not necessarily in that order)...
Proud father. Loving husband. Devoted Raider fan.

I've been blogging and commenting extensively for about the past 5 years and have some college level education for creative writing. I am currently employed as a process coordinator for a major electronics corporation.

I started writing articles for b/r to pen the stories that I wanted to see, instead of waiting for others to write them for me. I try to write the pieces that people like me would want to read.

I feel that my articles bring that certain perspective to the fan base, and I hope you all feel the same way.

Thanks for your support.

No problem at all. Keep writing quality pieces and I'd be glad to keep editing them.

I appreciate any edits, as I am relatively new to this :) I ask only that the titles are not amended. That is the last thing I come up with and would prefer they remain unaltered as they reflect my thoughts of the article. Thanks everyone!
