About

I grew up in south central Pennsylvania in the small town of Columbia. My family have always been Alabama fans (our HS in PA was the Crimson Tide)even in the middle of Penn State country. I graduated from the University of Alabama and now work as a photojournalist in the middle of Buckeye country, Columbus, OH.

The only sports team I follow here in Columbus is the Crew, 2008 MLS champs! Yes, that's right I love all kinds of football. I'm a Manchester United supporter as well.

I also hope beyond all sanity that my Baltimore Orioles can turn their luck around... otherwise, I'll always have 1983!
