About Tom »

I'm an Ohio State Grad going to DePaul grad school, I was on the Ohio State Varsity Fencing team. I love college football above all other sports, NFL and MLB are always excellent and I love a good hockey game.

I am a full blown MMA fan and love humble, hard working fighters.

I have also begun training at Gracie-Barra Jiu Jitsu and am currently a white belt (3 stripes).

    Just a reminder that anyone can make it to the SEC Title game to face the obnoxious and annoying Tim Tebow.
