About

Born into a Gator family and raised in Crescent City Florida. Joined the Air Force in 1983 and became a Worldwide Firefighter. Retired in 2005 after 21 years and 8 months of service. Currently attending Daytona State for one more semester, then on to UCF. I'm also a freelance writer. Having written for FoxSports.com, ESPN.com, just to name a few. Several newspaper and magazine articles.
Some of my hobbies include: Going to the gym, the beach, watching sports, reading, writing, and playing playstation with my son. I like just about any sport, but College, and H.S.Football if my passion. MLB is also a close second. Having played the sport since the age of 4. Oh yeah, I love the Gators! I also attend, cover and report on High School Football games in the local area. Sports reporting is where its at for me!
