About

I am a graduate of the University of South Carolina, and I currently live in Orlando, FL. I have been fortunate enough to work with the Tampa Bay Rays, Orlando Rays (former AA team, now relocated to Montgomery, AL), Tampa Bay Bucs, NBA Pre-Draft Camp, Orlando Magic, Orlando Predators, and most importantly, the Atlanta Braves. I am a huge Braves and Gamecocks fan, and a big baseball fan in general. I would like to share some of my experiences and insights on this site.

    I see Marcus Giles is listed as one of your favorite athletes. I was just in Daytona Beach for the Daytona 500, went to a club on the beach called The Ocean Deck, I met him there, he is a really good guy. But you have probably met him working for the Braves.

    You expressed interest in becoming the Rangers Community Leader but have yet to write anything. Just wanted to check in and make sure you were still interested?

    I'm looking forward to reading some Rangers articles..Glad to have you in the running.

    You look like you're more interested in the Braves? Would you rather be interested in becoming a CL for the Braves?
