About

I have been a huge sports fan all my life. It started with the Vikings and Twins and later anything with the University of Minnesota.

Over the past five or six years I have become a big NASCAR fan, after joining a fantasy league.

I have an engineering degree and by nature I'm a stats geek. Data and statistics are everywhere in sports and thus a perfect match. Add the human element and you have chaos.

    Hi Tim
    I am a baseball blogger and am looking to start a brand new site with a large group of writers. We have a few great writers already on board and we are looking for more to join in. I like your stats-based analysis and I believe it would be perfect for the atmospher will will try to create at our blog. Please let me know if you're interested, even if you are only able to write an article per week.
    Please contact me if you're interested UpAlongFirst@Gmail.com
    Thanks!

    Tim, thanks for liking my article. In a sense we are brothers in journalism hoping for the same thing, success for the Vikings. I always enjoy reading your work because it shows passion and thought. I get so tired of reading drivel that people put out because they want 10,000 reads. It is about the quality of the article that matters most; does it advance the conversation, or does it put an emphasis/closure on something? That is what I am trying to do. Again, keep puttin it out there brother.

    Just a suggestion.....( take it or leave it) ....You should do a article on how Bill Smith is not even close to Terry Ryan as a MLB GM.

    Compare the Ryan trades vs. the Smith's one's, and you see a huge gap in success.

    I'd do it myself, but I am not a writer by trade. More of a "pitch man".
